The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

It carries a valid signature from HP Inc., a publisher on our trusted list. Nothing in its packing profile or external intel suggests malicious intent, though it is rarely submitted.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The file is rarely submitted (2 submitters), so there is little community history to confirm it.
  • No sandbox run was completed and the contacted-host check was not available, so runtime and network behaviour are unobserved.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 7 questions people ask most about this file.

Is DeviceDetector.NET.dll safe?
We found nothing harmful in DeviceDetector.NET.dll. None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. It has a valid digital signature from HP Inc.. Use it only as part of a program you got from the developer's own website.
What is DeviceDetector.NET.dll?
DeviceDetector.NET.dll is a Windows library (DLL), about 1.7 MB. Its version information says it is “DeviceDetector.NET”. The digital signature from HP Inc. checks out. VirusTotal first saw it on Sep 17, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected DeviceDetector.NET.dll?
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag DeviceDetector.NET.dll. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
Is DeviceDetector.NET.dll digitally signed?
Yes. DeviceDetector.NET.dll has a valid digital signature from HP Inc., which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
What is the SHA-256 hash of DeviceDetector.NET.dll?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of DeviceDetector.NET.dll is 80c4f327ba2d8f4e907939a290637ef5bc83c43261a7a4582d119856f99a8ceb, and its MD5 is 6bbad5c8240d6f5063d6dca2faf7de10. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to use DeviceDetector.NET.dll?
We found nothing harmful in DeviceDetector.NET.dll, and its digital signature checks out. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of DeviceDetector.NET.dll?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 23, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
