Is CMT_Bitcrusher_2.dll safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

Unsigned, packed DLL with one low-trust detection and process-injection indicators but no tier-1 consensus.

One low-trust engine flagged the file; 74 others did not. The DLL is unsigned, UPX-packed, and exhibits T1055 process-injection behaviour plus direct-IP network activity, yet no tier-1 engine or external-intel source corroborates malice.

Do not use it until verified

Treat the file as suspicious; do not execute it on production systems until additional signed or vendor-verified copies can be obtained.

01

Before using

Do not use it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.

02

If you already used it

Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Reinstall the parent software from the developer's official site instead of replacing this component by itself.

Analyst conclusion

One low-trust engine flagged the file; 74 others did not. The DLL is unsigned, UPX-packed, and exhibits T1055 process-injection behaviour plus direct-IP network activity, yet no tier-1 engine or external-intel source corroborates malice.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • prevalence.classification=common_old with 117 unique sources over 4549 days suggests the file has been widely distributed for a decade without tier-1 consensus

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Treat the file as suspicious; do not execute it on production systems until additional signed or vendor-verified copies can be obtained.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Don't use it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.

I already downloaded and used CMT_Bitcrusher_2.dll — what should I do?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
