MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.

78%Confidence
High
Reasoning

The complete lack of malicious detections across tier-1 and tier-2 engines combined with zero offensive MITRE techniques and no external intelligence hits supports a clean classification. Although the file is unsigned and relatively new, the absence of any adversarial signals, brand mismatch, or suspicious filename patterns reduces risk. Medium prevalence with only one submission is consistent with a low-distribution but non-malicious binary.

Key signals · 4

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. engines.malicious=0 with tier1Malicious=0 across 70 reporting engines

  2. signing.signed=false and signing.signerStats.found=false

  3. behaviour.offensiveCount=0 and behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false

  4. prevalence.classification=medium with 1 submission in 27 days

Points in its favour
  • Zero malicious engine detections
  • No offensive MITRE techniques
  • No external intelligence hits
Recommended action

Treat as low-risk; continue normal security hygiene when running unsigned executables.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about gfix.exe, answered from the scan data above.

  • gfix.exe appears safe. 74 of 74 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only run files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
  • gfix.exe is a Windows executable program, about 341 KB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
  • None — all 74 antivirus engines we queried report gfix.exe as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
  • The SHA-256 hash of gfix.exe is feef48571f3d37ccb0dca04daff20a140dbd675b5a1292e55f33e9347cd755d1, and its MD5 is cbdbed783e2d15ce0cc0e6d3231054e9. 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.
  • Based on this scan, yes — gfix.exe shows no threat indicators. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 17, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of gfix.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.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
