The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

This 64-bit library file shows no detections from any of the 74 engines, including every major antivirus engine. It is not packed, matched no malware-specific rules and is absent from public malware databases. It is unsigned and rarely seen, so check where it came from.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The DLL is unsigned and rarely submitted, and no sandbox run completed, so behaviour in the test run has not been observed.

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

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is ff12-tkmalloc.dll safe?
We found nothing harmful in ff12-tkmalloc.dll. None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Use it only as part of a program you got from the developer's own website.
What is ff12-tkmalloc.dll?
ff12-tkmalloc.dll is a Windows library (DLL), about 109.6 kB. Its version information says it is “Final Fantasy XII TZA tkMalloc Fix Module”. Version information is written by whoever built the file, so it is a claim, not proof of who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Aug 16, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected ff12-tkmalloc.dll?
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag ff12-tkmalloc.dll. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of ff12-tkmalloc.dll?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of ff12-tkmalloc.dll is 3e0fc526cd1e7438e3c43e95fbbafc7a8e3526d5aed8fb18ffb4a6ae5b035ccd, and its MD5 is c3e080e29c35cffee4ee0680c89811a7. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to use ff12-tkmalloc.dll?
We found nothing harmful in ff12-tkmalloc.dll. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of ff12-tkmalloc.dll?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 18, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
