Is GayStation.dll safe?
None of 74 antivirus engines detected the DLL, and the completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict, offensive techniques, persistence, or dropped payloads.
All 74 antivirus engines returned without a detection, including 16 tier-1 engines, and one completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict. The DLL is unsigned and marked as likely packed, but those concerns lack corroboration from runtime observations or independent threat intelligence.

Before using
Use it only as part of software obtained from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already used it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.
Intelligence

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines returned without a detection, including 16 tier-1 engines, and one completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict. The DLL is unsigned and marked as likely packed, but those concerns lack corroboration from runtime observations or independent threat intelligence.
The strongest evidence is complete agreement across 74 antivirus engines, with no malicious or suspicious detections and 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. One completed sandbox run recorded only ambient techniques and produced no malicious verdict, persistence indicators, or dropped payloads. Independent intelligence checks found no known-malware, database, or YARA-rule match. The absent signature prevents publisher verification, while the likely-packed indicator appears consistent with the identified .NET tooling and is not supported by high-entropy code. Similar-file history is mixed and based solely on a shared imphash without signer co-matching, so it does not materially change the assessment.
What We Detected
None of 74 antivirus engines flagged this 4 KB Win32 DLL, and 16 tier-1 engines reported no detection. Independent checks returned no MalwareBazaar record, CIRCL match, or YARAify rule hit.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict and observed no offensive techniques, persistence indicators, dropped payloads, or network contacts. The DLL was loaded through standard Windows DLL-loading utilities. It is unsigned and marked as likely packed, but its code section does not have high entropy and the identified tooling is Microsoft Visual C# / Basic .NET.
What To Do Now
The available evidence does not indicate harmful activity. Because the file lacks a verified publisher, retain normal endpoint protection and obtain it from a trusted source before use, especially if it appeared unexpectedly.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- signing.applicable=true while signing.signed=false, so no verified publisher identity supports the file.
- peAnalysis.likelyPacked=true, although peAnalysis.highEntropyCode=false and the listed packer is Microsoft Visual C# / Basic .NET.
- similarHashes[3].verdict is 'malicious' with a Zusy consensus, but it is an imphash-only match without signer co-matching and therefore may reflect a shared build framework.
- contactedHosts=null, so no complete host-reputation cross-check is available; the sandbox recorded no network contacts to inspect.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- 16 tier-1 engines reported no detection and tier1Malicious=0.
- One completed sandbox run had no malicious verdict and behaviour.offensiveCount=0.
- No persistence indicators, dropped hashes, or sandbox network contacts were recorded.
- MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify returned no hits.
- The executable DLL is unsigned, so its publisher cannot be authenticated.
- peAnalysis.likelyPacked=true, although highEntropyCode=false and .NET tooling was identified.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available because contactedHosts=null.
- One imphash-only similar file previously received a Zusy malware consensus, but the shared imphash lacks signer co-matching.
Normal use is reasonable if the DLL came from an expected, trusted source. Keep endpoint protection enabled and quarantine or delete it if its origin is unknown or it appeared without explanation.

Section entropy & packers
A known packer signature (UPX / Themida / VMProtect / etc.) matched this file. Packers aren't malicious on their own, but most malware uses them.
Packers compress or encrypt the executable and only unpack it at runtime. Legitimate commercial software uses them too — but if the file is also unsigned and rare, it's a strong malware signal.
How widely this file has been seen
Moderate prevalence — neither rare nor common. No strong prior applies.
