The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

37 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flag this archive, with nine major antivirus engines such as Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender and Symantec reporting trojan detections. The labels are generic rather than a named family, but agreement this broad across independent engines is strong evidence of harmful content. It is rarely submitted and carries no signature or other trust anchor.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • All labels are generic or machine-learning buckets with no named malware family, and 5 major antivirus engines reported the file clean.
  • No sandbox run or static analysis of the contents is available to show what the executable inside does.

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

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.
