How else can you decide? There is no other way. You can also disassemble the binary to assembly and inspect it via ghidra or IDA Pro but that is like million times more effort.

What is the behavior of the virus? Have you reverse-engineered it? What does it exactly do?

Theo1996 commented 1 week ago

@CommonLoon102 Look m8 after several proper AV detect it specifically as a malware, and the repo has a bad history of scammers fakes, it is safe to say that is a virus and forget about it, since you are such a hackerman do all that work and check every line of binary for the greater good my fellow redditor tips fedora

antiviruses are created for this purpose (to avoid people learning programming languages each time they want to test a program) why ignore them?

It might be a virus. So what? What it is going to do? Are you logging in to your bank from Windows 7? What if it is a virus? Don't you have backups? Do you have something to hide? And if yes, why you do it on Windows 7, which is closed-source and could be still a virus. Why don't you use Linux or FreeBSD then?

No, the answer is not so obvious. People are using malwares on a daily basis, like Microsoft Windows, Google-based Android devices, iOS, apps from Meta, etc. Running one more malware on your device wouldn't really change much.
