Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 1 month ago

Is sony-device-center-0.1.4-win64.msi safe? Treat it as suspicious.

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

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? Unsigned Windows Installer despite a filename implying a major commercial brand.

Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't install it until you know where it came from

If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't install it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already installed it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 60 antivirus engines that checked it produced no malware or suspicious detections, including 16 major antivirus engines reporting no detection. However, this unsigned MSI has only one recorded submission and no completed the test run, so its publisher identity and installation behavior remain unverified.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The 0/60 detection result, including no major flags, weighs strongly toward benign software despite the limited history.
  • The brand-mismatch flag 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 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.
