Is SecurityTest-MixedScripts.zip safe?
No engine among 75 flagged this small ZIP archive, including 17 tier-1 products, though its recent appearance and absent runtime data warrant routine caution.
The archive received no malicious or suspicious detections from 75 antivirus engines, with 17 tier-1 products also reporting no detection. It is newly observed and was not run in a sandbox, so inspect its extracted scripts before executing them and keep endpoint protection enabled.

If you already opened or extracted it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The archive received no malicious or suspicious detections from 75 antivirus engines, with 17 tier-1 products also reporting no detection. It is newly observed and was not run in a sandbox, so inspect its extracted scripts before executing them and keep endpoint protection enabled.
Static scanning produced no detections across 75 antivirus engines, including no flags from 17 tier-1 products. The ZIP format does not meaningfully support code signing, so the lack of a signature is neutral. No corroborating hit appeared in the available CIRCL or MalwareBazaar intelligence, while the YARAify check timed out. The archive has only one known submission and no completed sandbox run, which limits certainty about its contained scripts. The five historical comparisons were also benign, but they match only by ZIP file type and therefore provide little sample-specific assurance.
What We Detected
None of 75 antivirus engines reported this ZIP as malicious or suspicious. Seventeen tier-1 products, including Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, and Microsoft, reported no detection. Available CIRCL and MalwareBazaar checks also returned no match; the YARAify check timed out.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so the scripts inside the archive were not behaviorally assessed. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available either. The filename-related heuristic only notes that the name resembles security software and does not indicate harmful behavior by itself.
What To Do Now
Confirm that the archive came from the expected source, inspect the extracted file names and script contents, and scan them individually before execution. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled, particularly because this hash is newly observed and has minimal reputation history.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- prevalence.classification=rare_new means the hash has almost no established history.
- behaviour=null, so no completed runtime observation confirms what scripts inside the ZIP would do when opened or executed.
- externalIntel.availability.yaraify='error', leaving that researcher-rule source uncovered.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
- Recovery step 01
Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
- Recovery step 02
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
- Recovery step 03
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
