Is Ayura Crisis.exe safe?

Verdict
Malicious

Eleven tier-1 engines, PowerShell downloader consensus, endpoint-protection exclusions, executed downloads, and five YARA matches provide mutually reinforcing evidence of a Powedon-style downloader.

The executable was flagged by 33 of 75 engines, with eleven tier-1 detections and strong PowerShell-family agreement. Runtime evidence shows it adding endpoint-protection exclusions, downloading additional executables, and launching them; keep protection enabled, quarantine the file, and investigate any system where it ran.

Do not run this file

Quarantine the executable, keep endpoint protection enabled, and do not launch it. If it already ran, isolate the computer and perform full incident-response scanning for downloaded payloads and credential compromise.

The reasoning behind this verdict

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

Analyst conclusion

The executable was flagged by 33 of 75 engines, with eleven tier-1 detections and strong PowerShell-family agreement. Runtime evidence shows it adding endpoint-protection exclusions, downloading additional executables, and launching them; keep protection enabled, quarantine the file, and investigate any system where it ran.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • BitDefender did not detect the sample, and four tier-1 engines reported it clean, but eleven tier-1 detections and runtime downloader activity outweigh that disagreement.
  • droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false, but all 10 children have unknown verdicts rather than confirmed benign results.
  • contactedHosts found no cached malicious or suspicious hosts among two inspected hosts, but it did not cover every observed domain, IP, and URL.
  • similarHashes includes one prior safe result, but all five records are imphash-only matches without signer co-match and likely reflect a shared installer framework.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Quarantine the executable, keep endpoint protection enabled, and do not launch it. If it already ran, isolate the computer and perform full incident-response scanning for downloaded payloads and credential compromise.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.

  • High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.

  • High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.

  • Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.

  • Moderate concern: Runs hidden system commands (script or shell).

  • Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.

  • Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Threat context

How downloaders work

This file is a delivery vehicle. On its own it can look small and harmless, but its job is to quietly pull down and install the REAL payload — often a stealer, ransomware, or bot — from a server the attacker controls.

Bottom line:Because the dangerous part arrives later, early scans can look cleaner than the threat really is.

What to do now

This file is dangerous. Treat it as harmful and remove it.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Don't run this file. Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.

  2. Recovery step 02

    If you already ran it, disconnect from the internet and start with a full antivirus scan or Microsoft Defender Offline scan. If compromise is suspected or the problem persists, use a reputable second-opinion scanner and follow incident-recovery or clean-reinstall guidance.

  3. Recovery step 03

    If you typed any passwords while it was open, change them from a device you trust.

  4. Recovery step 04

    Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.

8 evidence-based answers
Is Ayura Crisis.exe malware?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — Ayura Crisis.exe is malicious. Do not run it. Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 33 of 75 antivirus engines flag it (family: Powedon). It behaves as a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. If you've already run it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
What is Ayura Crisis.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Ayura Crisis.exe is a Windows executable program, about 37.2 MB. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: Powedon) — a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
How many antivirus engines detected Ayura Crisis.exe?
Evidence-based answer
33 of 75 antivirus engines flagged Ayura Crisis.exe, 33 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence. The malicious verdict is supported by 1 isolated runtime environment that classified the observed behavior as malicious and by the wider saved evidence.
I already downloaded and ran Ayura Crisis.exe — what should I do?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove Ayura Crisis.exe?
Evidence-based answer
To remove Ayura Crisis.exe: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
What kind of malware is Ayura Crisis.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Ayura Crisis.exe is classified as a downloader/dropper whose job is to pull additional malware onto the device. Engines attribute it to the Powedon family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Ayura Crisis.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of Ayura Crisis.exe is fc76b040f65d961c57282ff852250cea333c8d41840d9596eb60503e86bcf052, and its MD5 is d2908115213cb6459208a0bb4d35c22c. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
How up to date is this analysis of Ayura Crisis.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on October 8, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Ayura Crisis.exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
