The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Most of their labels describe a game cheat or riskware, while Microsoft names it a trojan. The sandbox runs recorded no harmful activity, but game cheats are often abused to hide malware, so treat it with caution.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The combined sandbox verdict was clean and no high-risk techniques or injection targets were recorded, though a cheat DLL may only act inside its target game.
  • Several engines use trojan labels and Microsoft names Kepavll, so a more harmful payload hidden in a cheat cannot be excluded.

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

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Note: Read the user name of the test computer.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.
