Why we think so
1 point against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, including 17 major antivirus engines that reported it clean. In the sandbox it extracted standard graphics and text-rendering libraries, which is normal for a .NET desktop app, and it showed no high-risk techniques. It is unsigned, so the publisher cannot be confirmed.
Detection coverage is strong, and no engine flagged the file. The sandbox recorded only techniques common in legitimate software. The dropped files are SkiaSharp and HarfBuzzSharp rendering libraries unpacked by the Costura embedding tool, which is typical of .NET GUI programs. No malware databases or community malware rules list the file, and about 61 different users have submitted it over roughly seven months. The missing signature lowers confidence slightly, but nothing in the evidence suggests hostile behaviour.
What We Detected
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this 64-bit Windows program, and 17 major antivirus engines reported it clean. It has no listing in public malware databases, no malware-specific rule matches and no packer. Its structure matches a natively compiled .NET application.
Threat Behavior
In the sandbox runs, the program unpacked bundled graphics and text-rendering libraries into a temporary folder. This is standard for .NET desktop interfaces. No high-risk techniques, persistence, injected processes or network contacts by the sample were recorded. A generic injection mapping appeared without any target process, and that pattern is common on clean software. No complete reputation check of contacted hosts is available.
What To Do Now
The file shows no signs of malware. Because it is unsigned, download it only from the developer's official project page, and keep your antivirus enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The file is unsigned, so its author cannot be verified from a signature.
- No complete reputation check of contacted hosts is available, although no network contacts by the sample were recorded.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- 17 major antivirus engines reported it clean.
- No high-risk techniques or injected processes were observed in the sandbox.
- No matches in public malware databases or malware-specific rules.
- Steady submissions from about 61 users over seven months.
- The file has no digital signature, so its publisher cannot be verified.
