Why we think so
2 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Only less reliable detections exist; major antivirus engines are silent. The file is a long-standing installer whose sandbox activity is inconclusive without host-reputation data.
The engine profile matches the classic less reliable-only false-positive pattern. No major antivirus engines raised an alert, and the file has been submitted by over a thousand sources since 2006. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available, yet the overall evidence still favors a safe determination.
What We Detected
2 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the sample; both detections came from less reliable engines and carried generic labels. The executable is unsigned and uses ASPack packing, which historically triggers rule-based engines.
Threat Behavior
Sandbox execution recorded MITRE T1055 (process injection) and direct-IP network traffic, but the sandbox itself returned no malicious verdict. Ten files it created were inspected and none were flagged malicious. Host-reputation cross-check data is unavailable, so the network activity remains unclassified.
What To Do Now
Keep security software enabled. If you need the NFO viewer functionality, obtain the installer from the original publisher site and verify its digital signature after download.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- communityComments contain researcher note calling detections a false-positive linked to ASPack packing
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- widely seen and long established prevalence with 1094 submitters
