Read the whole reasonShow less
Why Suspicious? 3 antivirus engines flag it and a sandbox test run rated it as risky.
Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.
Do not run this cracked installer; get the software from its official source. If it was already run, keep protection enabled and perform a full system scan.
What to do now4 steps
Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.
What to do
Don't install it unless you're sure where it came from.
Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.
If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.
If you already installed it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.
Not sure what to do?
Ask the MalwareTips community before you run it. If you already ran it, follow the cleanup guide.

Chapter 02
Why we think so
5 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This installer looks like a repacked or cracked software package. 3 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it with crack and riskware labels, including one major antivirus engine. Our sandbox runs flagged it as malicious, but recorded only installer-style activity with no named injection target. Cracked installers are a common route for bundled unwanted or harmful software.
GData, Malwarebytes and Webroot flag the file, and their labels describe cracked or repacked software rather than a specific malware family. The file is unsigned and carries no publisher identity. Sandbox execution shows an Inno Setup chain extracting unpacker components such as ISDone.dll and a lollypop decompressor, typical of game and software repacks. A malicious sandbox verdict was recorded, but no high-risk technique or injection target backs it. The file's wide distribution and the absence of public malware-database or rule hits argue against a stealer or trojan, while the crack labeling keeps the risk real.
What We Detected
3 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag this unsigned installer: GData (generic trojan heuristic), Malwarebytes (cracked-software riskware) and Webroot (repacked riskware). No family is named, and it has no public malware-database or community rule matches.
Threat Behavior
Across the sandbox runs, the installer launches a standard Inno Setup helper and extracts repack unpacker libraries and a decompression tool. One sandbox verdict was malicious, but no process injection target, persistence or suspicious network contact was recorded beyond a Microsoft short-link host. The overall shape matches a cracked or repacked software installer.
What To Do Now
Avoid running cracked or repacked installers from unofficial sources. Obtain the software from its official vendor, and keep your antivirus enabled and scan any system where this was run.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- A sandbox run returned malicious and no run contradicted it, so hidden payload behaviour cannot be fully excluded even though no high-risk technique or injection target was recorded.
- The file is widely submitted (over 600 sources over nearly a year) with only 3 detections. That fits a common repacked game or software installer rather than a stealer or trojan.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Only 3 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it
- Widely submitted by over 600 sources across nearly a year
- No high-risk techniques or process injection targets were recorded
- No public malware-database or community rule matches
- Engines label the file as cracked or repacked software
- One major antivirus engine flags it with a generic trojan detection
- A sandbox run returned a malicious verdict
- The installer is unsigned, so no publisher is identified
- It extracts repack unpacker components commonly used in pirated software

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).
Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.
Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.
Note: Read the user name of the test computer.
Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.
Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.
Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.

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.
