Verdict Malicious
Is Evergreen Dupe. jar safe? No, we rate this exact file malicious.
Six major antivirus engines identified Java trojan traits, and one sandbox produced a malware verdict with injection and service-related technique mappings.

What to do now4 steps
This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.
If you haven't opened or run it
Don't open or run this Java file. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.
If you already opened or ran it
Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full scan with your security software.
If you typed passwords on the device after running it, change them from another device you trust.
If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system.
If you already ran it, do these in order.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Nine of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this JAR, including six major detections that broadly identify a Java Agent trojan. One sandbox also returned a malware verdict, although another returned clean, so the evidence from the test run is supportive rather than unanimous.
The strongest evidence is the combination of nine detections among 75 engines and six major detections. ESET-NOD32 and Fortinet specifically agree on Java/Agent.ADG, while several other engines independently describe a Java Agent or generic Java trojan. The test run adds a malware verdict and maps and T1543.002, but the second sandbox returned clean and no injected target process was recorded. The only observed IP was identified as analysis-environment background traffic, and no complete contacted-host reputation check is available. The lack of external-intelligence corroboration and the ten non-flagging major antivirus engines create uncertainty, but they do not outweigh the converging detections and adverse runtime result.
What We Detected
Nine of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the JAR, including six major antivirus engines. ESET-NOD32 and Fortinet both identified Java/Agent.ADG, while Avira, F-Secure, Kaspersky, and other engines used Java Agent or generic Java trojan labels. The engines do not establish a strong consensus on one precise family, so Java Agent is the most defensible family description.
Threat Behavior
One of two sandbox runs returned a malware/trojan result, while the other returned clean. Evidence from the test run mapped possible process injection (T1055) and service execution (T1543.002), although no injected target process was identified. The recorded IP contact was analysis-environment background traffic rather than sample activity, and a complete host-reputation check is unavailable. Eight dropped files were observed, but none has a saved verdict, so their status remains unknown.
What To Do Now
Do not run the JAR on a normal system. Quarantine or remove it, keep security software enabled, and obtain a fresh copy only from a verified source if the file was expected.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- Ten major antivirus engines did not flag the file, including Microsoft and BitDefender.
- The two sandbox runs disagreed, with one returning clean.
- No malware-specific YARA rules or external-intelligence matches corroborated the detections.
- None of the eight dropped files has a saved malicious verdict; all eight remain unclassified rather than cleared.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Ten major antivirus engines did not flag the file, including Microsoft and BitDefender.
- A second sandbox run returned clean.
- No malware-specific researcher rules or external-intelligence matches were found.
- No dropped file has a saved malicious classification.
- Nine of the 66 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including six major antivirus engines.
- Multiple engines identify a Java Agent trojan, with two agreeing on the Java/Agent.ADG label.
- One sandbox run returned a malware/trojan result.
- The test run mapped possible process injection and service execution techniques.
- The file was first observed only one day before analysis.

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).
Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.
Moderate concern: Hid files or windows on the test computer.
Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.
Note: Loaded extra code modules while running.
Note: Checked which security software was installed on the test computer.
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as downloading a file, but no download was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as creating a service; no new service was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.
Threat context
How trojans work
A trojan pretends to be something useful or harmless so that you run it. Once open, it does its real job in the background, from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.
Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
