Is Rockey4ND.dll safe?
Only 3 of 76 engines flagged this older unsigned DLL, all from the low-trust tier, while tier-1 engines found no malware family.
The three detections come exclusively from low-trust engines and use generic labels rather than an agreed malware family. Fifteen tier-1 engines reported the DLL clean, and static PE analysis found no packing or high-entropy code, although no runtime analysis or complete contacted-host check is available.

Before using
Use it only as part of software obtained from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already used it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The three detections come exclusively from low-trust engines and use generic labels rather than an agreed malware family. Fifteen tier-1 engines reported the DLL clean, and static PE analysis found no packing or high-entropy code, although no runtime analysis or complete contacted-host check is available.
Only 3 of 76 engines detected the sample, and all three are in the low-trust tier. APEX and Cynet provided generic malicious labels, while MaxSecure used a generic susgen trojan label; no tier-1 engine or family consensus corroborates them. Fifteen tier-1 engines reported the DLL clean, including BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, and Kaspersky. Static PE evidence shows neither likely packing nor high-entropy code. The file is unsigned, and the absence of completed sandbox and host-reputation coverage limits certainty. One prior imphash match received a clean assessment, but it has no signer co-match and therefore carries little weight.
What We Detected
APEX, Cynet, and MaxSecure flagged the DLL, producing 3 detections among 76 engines. All three detectors are in the low-trust tier, their labels are generic, and engines.tier1FamilyConsensus.family is null. Fifteen tier-1 engines reported the sample clean, including Avast, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, and Kaspersky.
Threat Behavior
No completed runtime observation is available because behaviour is null, so execution behavior cannot be characterized. Static PE analysis found no listed packer, no likely packing, and no high-entropy code. contactedHosts is also null, meaning no complete reputation assessment of possible network contacts is available.
What To Do Now
Keep endpoint protection enabled and obtain the DLL only from the expected software vendor or original installation media. If its source is uncertain, verify the containing application's integrity or test it in an isolated environment before loading it.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- APEX, Cynet, and MaxSecure flagged the DLL, although their generic labels lack tier-1 corroboration or family consensus.
- signing.applicable=true but signing.signed=false, so no verified publisher identity supports the file.
- behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null leave runtime activity and contacted-host reputation unverified.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- engines.tier1Malicious=0, with 15 tier-1 engines reporting clean.
- engines.onlyLowTrustFlagging=true.
- No malware family consensus was identified.
- peAnalysis.likelyPacked=false and peAnalysis.highEntropyCode=false.
- MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify returned no matching intelligence hits.
- The DLL is unsigned despite code signing being applicable.
- APEX, Cynet, and MaxSecure produced three generic detections.
- No completed sandbox observation is available.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
Keep protection enabled and use the DLL only if it came from the expected product or vendor channel. Quarantine it for further runtime testing if its origin cannot be verified.
