Before installing
Install it only when it came from the developer's official site or an official app store.
If you already installed it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 engines returned clean. The file is signed by Spark Universe GmbH and executed as a Java-based installer without malicious sandbox findings or malicious children.
Zero detections across tier-1 and tier-2 engines combined with verified code signing and a clean sandbox verdict outweigh the single heuristic mapping to T1055. The signer has no prior history, but the absence of any malicious indicators and the installer filename pattern support a benign classification.
What We Detected
75 engines scanned the 35 MB executable; none flagged malicious or suspicious content. The binary is signed and verified by Spark Universe GmbH. Sandbox execution showed typical installer behaviour including Java runtime invocation and temporary file creation, with no malicious verdict returned.
Threat Behavior
Two MITRE techniques (T1055 Process Injection, T1562.001 Impair Defenses) were mapped from observed activity, but these occurred within the context of a Java installer and did not trigger a malicious sandbox classification. Ten dropped children were inspected; none carried malicious verdicts.
What To Do Now
The file can be executed if obtained from a trusted source. Keep endpoint protection enabled and monitor for any unexpected behaviour during installation.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- signerStats.found=false — no historical samples for 'Spark Universe GmbH' to establish trust baseline.
- behaviour.offensiveTechniques include T1055 and T1562.001; sandbox observed process injection and defense-evasion activity, though no malicious verdict returned.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Zero detections across 75 engines
- Verified digital signature
- Clean sandbox verdict
- No malicious dropped children
- New signer with no historical samples
- Process injection technique observed in sandbox
Proceed with installation from a trusted source while keeping security software active; re-scan if the file is obtained from a different location.

MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.
Signatures and behavior heuristics
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
