The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

92%Confidence
Very high
Reasoning

With zero malicious detections from high-coverage scans, including 17 tier-1 engines reporting clean, this file lacks any engine-based threat signals. It is properly signed by Smart Code OOD and matches the behavior of a standard InnoSetup installer for the popular Stremio application, including drops to the expected program directory. Triggered heuristics for process injection and direct IP contact are consistent with installer unpacking and multicast/Cloudflare resolutions, not C2. Medium prevalence and no malicious runtime indicators further support safety.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. 0/70 engines malicious (tier1: Avast, AVG, BitDefender, DrWeb, Emsisoft, ESET-NOD32, F-Secure, Fortinet, GData, Ikarus, Kaspersky all clean)

  2. signing.verified=true, signer='Smart Code OOD'

  3. behaviour.filesWritten includes 'stremio-shell-ng.exe', 'ffmpeg.exe', 'avcodec-58.dll' in Stremio folder

  4. prevalence: 1217 submissions, medium classification

  5. droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false (10 unknown children)

Points in its favour
  • 0 malicious engines (70 reporting, 17 tier1 clean)
  • Verified Authenticode signature
  • Expected Stremio app files and paths
  • Medium prevalence (1217 submissions)
  • No malicious sandbox or child verdicts
Points against
  • Triggered high-severity heuristic 'MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection' (T1055)
  • No signer historical stats (signerStats.found=false)
  • Single community comment alleging adware/trojan
What to do

This file is safe and appears to be the genuine Stremio installer. Run it if downloaded from the official site; otherwise, re-download to confirm.

  • ProcessInjectionhigh

    MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.

  • DirectIpC2medium

    Sample contacted 1 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
