Sample is here: https://bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/9aaf2a66b2754921fe133385136dc6fbe7bc730d5302a002103980bdfc13a1be/.

VT detection rate is 61/74: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/9aaf2a66b2754921fe133385136dc6fbe7bc730d5302a002103980bdfc13a1be

Upon sample archive extraction, file was sent to LiveGuard w/no file locking at all occuring.

The archive contains NSSM potentially unsafe application which is detected. Besides that there is also an old file svchost.exe from 2018 which is detected by a few AVs but it's probably not malicious per se but loads a batch script from the Sqlite database OnTimer.db. The script download payload from a dead url which used to serve Win64/CoinMiner.OF potentially unwanted application in the past (detected since 2019). I've sent svchost.exe to the viruslab to find out if it's subject to detection or not.

Is this only upon execution of the sample .exe? It was not detected upon file creation;

Ditto for LiveGuard analysis. Does LiveGuard ignore Eset PUA detections?

-EDIT- I downloaded the sample again. Now Eset detects upon archive extraction;
