Chapter 02
Why we think so
2 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this installer, and its signature from Unison Audio Inc is valid. The sandbox shows it writing audio plugin files into standard VST, VST3 and AAX folders. No injection target, persistence or hostile network activity was recorded.
The signature is valid, though the signer's history in our data is thin. The sandbox behaviour matches a plugin installer: it extracts temporary files and installs plugin binaries into standard folders. Similar-file matches rest on import-table fingerprint only and were given no weight. No complete host-reputation check is available, but no contacted domains or IPs were recorded.
What We Detected
No detections from 75 engines. The file is a signed Windows installer, apparently built with Inno Setup, for the Unison Chord Genie audio plugin.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox recorded temporary file extraction and plugin files written to VST, VST3 and AAX folders. It recorded no injected processes, no persistence and no network contacts.
What To Do Now
Download it only from the publisher's official site and keep your protection enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The signer has only one prior sample in our history, so its record gives little reassurance.
- The import-table fingerprint-matched similar files are mixed (2 safe, 2 suspicious), but those matches are weak framework collisions.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- No engines flagged the file.
- The signature is valid and names Unison Audio Inc.
- Installer behaviour matches an audio plugin setup.
- The signer has very little history in our data.
- No complete host-reputation check is available.

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
