Verdict Safe
Is D3
This file is a legitimate component of the DXVK graphics translation layer, and the single engine detection is a documented false positive common to this open-source project.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
The file is safe to use as it is a legitimate component of the DXVK project. Ensure you obtain it from the official project source.

Chapter 02
Why we think so
1 point against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The single detection by ClamAV is a known false positive, and no other security engines or sandbox behaviors suggest malicious activity.
The file is a component of the DXVK project, which is widely used for graphics translation. No other engines, including all major antivirus engines, identified any threat, and there is no evidence of malicious network activity or malicious dropped files.
What We Detected
The file 'D3D11.dll' was flagged by a single engine (ClamAV) as 'Win.Trojan.Virut-53'. However, our analysis of the broader engine network shows that 74 out of 75 engines, including all 17 major antivirus engines, found the file to be clean. This pattern is characteristic of a false positive.
Threat Behavior
This is expected behavior for a DLL wrapper like DXVK, which must hook into graphics APIs to translate Direct3D calls to Vulkan. There was no evidence of malicious network connections, dropped malicious files it created, or other indicators of compromise.
What To Do Now
This file is a legitimate component of the DXVK project. If you are using this file as part of a game or application, it is safe to use. Ensure you have downloaded it from a trusted source, such as the official project repository.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The file is unsigned, which prevents verification of its origin, though this is common for community-maintained open-source projects.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 74/63 engines clean
- All major antivirus engines clean
- Documented false positive
- No malicious network activity
- Unsigned file

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.

Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
