Is OrangeVocoder.dll safe?

Verdict
Safe

Only Cynet flagged this long-established DLL among 75 engines, while tier-one engines, sandbox results, child inspection, and external intelligence provided no corroboration.

Only 1 of 75 engines flagged the DLL, and that detection came from the low-trust Cynet engine without a named malware family. The file is unsigned and one offensive technique appeared during execution, but no sandbox malware verdict, persistence, malicious child, or external-intelligence match corroborated the alert.

Use with normal care

Use the DLL only if it came from a trusted source and its hash matches the expected release. Keep endpoint protection enabled and quarantine it if unexpected behavior appears.

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

Analyst conclusion

Only 1 of 75 engines flagged the DLL, and that detection came from the low-trust Cynet engine without a named malware family. The file is unsigned and one offensive technique appeared during execution, but no sandbox malware verdict, persistence, malicious child, or external-intelligence match corroborated the alert.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • The DLL is unsigned under signing.signed=false, so publisher identity and provenance cannot be authenticated.
  • The sandbox recorded T1562.001, a defense-impairment technique, but produced no malicious sandbox verdict or persistence indicator.
  • contactedHosts=null means no complete host-reputation cross-check is available, although the sandbox recorded no network contacts.
  • All 9 inspected dropped children have unknown verdicts, despite droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false.

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

Recommended action

Use the DLL only if it came from a trusted source and its hash matches the expected release. Keep endpoint protection enabled and quarantine it if unexpected behavior appears.

What to do now

This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Use it only as part of software obtained from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

    A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.

  3. Recovery step 03

    Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.

6 evidence-based answers
Is OrangeVocoder.dll safe?
Evidence-based answer
OrangeVocoder.dll appears safe. 1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it; the 1 detection were treated as non-decisive after the wider evidence was weighed. Use it only as part of software obtained from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is OrangeVocoder.dll?
Evidence-based answer
OrangeVocoder.dll is a Windows library or loadable module, about 1.2 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected OrangeVocoder.dll?
Evidence-based answer
1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged OrangeVocoder.dll, 1 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence.
What is the SHA-256 hash of OrangeVocoder.dll?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of OrangeVocoder.dll is 5b0ba52da0737d0decf76d83bede4fd3f8d65ca190270d840979410a2d87f260, and its MD5 is 6186c040c70c06deb40a71640753eda4. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to use OrangeVocoder.dll?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, OrangeVocoder.dll has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of OrangeVocoder.dll?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 15, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of OrangeVocoder.dll is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
