Is sony-device-center-0.1.4-win64.msi safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

No antivirus engine detected this new MSI, but its absent signature, minimal prevalence, and lack of runtime evidence leave the Sony-themed installer unverified.

All 75 antivirus engines produced no malware or suspicious detections, including 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. However, this unsigned MSI has only one recorded submission and no completed runtime analysis, so its publisher identity and installation behavior remain unverified.

Do not install it until verified

Verify that the SHA-256 hash came from Sony's official release channel before installation. If the source cannot be authenticated, do not run it yet and keep endpoint protection enabled.

The reasoning behind this verdict

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

Analyst conclusion

All 75 antivirus engines produced no malware or suspicious detections, including 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. However, this unsigned MSI has only one recorded submission and no completed runtime analysis, so its publisher identity and installation behavior remain unverified.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The 0/75 detection result, including no tier-1 flags, weighs strongly toward benign software despite the limited history.
  • brandMismatch.detected is not present, so the payload provides no identified conflict between the claimed brand and publisher metadata.
  • No external-intelligence service produced a hit, although absence of a hit does not establish trust for a newly observed file.

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

Verify that the SHA-256 hash came from Sony's official release channel before installation. If the source cannot be authenticated, do not run it yet and keep endpoint protection enabled.
