Is MA2 Dual NSP Emulator v1.2.exe safe?
One tier-1 engine flags a keylogger family while 15 tier-1 engines stay silent and the signer has no history.
Four of 74 engines detect the sample, one of them tier-1, naming the TL0101DO26ZB keylogger family. The file is signed by an unknown publisher, shows process-injection and direct-IP behaviour, and shares its imphash with a previously malicious sample.

Before running
Do not run it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.
If you already ran it
Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
Four of 74 engines detect the sample, one of them tier-1, naming the TL0101DO26ZB keylogger family. The file is signed by an unknown publisher, shows process-injection and direct-IP behaviour, and shares its imphash with a previously malicious sample.
The single tier-1 detection is insufficient for a malicious verdict, yet the combination of offensive MITRE techniques, direct-IP traffic, and an imphash match to a known-bad sample prevents a clean classification. The signer lacks any reputation history and the certificate is flagged invalid, adding further uncertainty. Prevalence is common_old, but that alone does not outweigh the behavioural and detection signals.
What We Detected
TrendMicro-HouseCall labels the file Trojan.Win64.Gen.TL0101DO26ZB; Zillya reports a keylogger script. CrowdStrike assigns 70 % malicious confidence. Fifteen tier-1 engines report clean.
Threat Behavior
Runtime evidence shows process injection (T1055) and non-standard network channels (T1571). Fourteen external IPs were contacted without domain names. Ten dropped children were inspected; none carried malicious verdicts.
What To Do Now
Do not execute the file. Keep endpoint protection enabled. If the file is required, run it only in an isolated sandbox and monitor for unexpected outbound connections.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- engines.tier1Malicious=1 is below the ≥2 threshold for strong malicious consensus; 15 tier-1 engines reported clean.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 15 tier-1 engines reported clean
- No malicious dropped children
- No external-intel hits from CIRCL, MalwareBazaar or YARAify
- Single tier-1 detection on keylogger family
- Unknown signer with invalid signature
- Process-injection and direct-IP behaviour observed
- Imphash matches previously malicious sample
Treat the file as suspicious; isolate and analyse further before any execution on production systems.

What this file does
Observed actions and their security significance
High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.
Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.
Moderate concern: Runs hidden system commands (script or shell).
Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.
Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.
Moderate concern: Communicates over the network in a non-standard way.
Moderate concern: Decoded or unpacked concealed content while running.
These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
Evidence%SAMPLEPATH%\MA2 Dual NSP Emulator v1.2.exeThe sample contacted an external IP address directly and no application domain was recorded. Direct-IP traffic also occurs in legitimate installers and infrastructure, so this is supporting context only and requires corroboration from host reputation and other runtime evidence.

Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.
