Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
This installer appears to be a legitimate game launcher setup. Download it only from the project's official source and keep your security software enabled.
Good practice2 tips
We found nothing harmful in this file.
Install it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on.
No scanner can promise a file is 100% safe.

Chapter 02
Why we think so
3 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All four labels are generic machine-learning detections that name no malware family, and Sophos is the only major antivirus engine among them. Five sandbox runs showed a normal installer: it unpacked its components, created a launcher, an uninstaller and a Start Menu shortcut, and contacted no network hosts. The file is unsigned and very new, so download it only from the project's official source.
Detections are limited to Sophos's generic unwanted program label and three machine-learning engines, none of which names a malware family. Seventeen other major antivirus engines did not flag it. Across five sandbox runs we saw a standard installer that registers an uninstall entry and a URL handler, with no injection target, no network contacts and no high-risk techniques. No public malware database or malware-specific rule lists the file, and no dropped component was judged malicious. The file is unsigned and rare, which lowers our confidence, but nothing beyond generic machine-learning scoring points toward harm.
What We Detected
4 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file: Sophos (Generic ML unwanted program), DeepInstinct, APEX and Cylance. All four are generic machine-learning labels with no named family. The file carries no code signature and was first seen on Oct 22, 2026.
Threat Behavior
Five sandbox runs showed an installer extracting its plugins to a temporary folder. It then installed a launcher and an uninstaller under the user's local application data, added a Start Menu shortcut, and registered an uninstall entry and a custom URL handler. No processes were injected and no network contacts were recorded. Nothing in the runs showed persistence beyond the normal shortcut and uninstall registration.
What To Do Now
Download this installer only from the project's official release page and compare the file hash if the project publishes one. Keep your antivirus enabled while installing and running it.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The installer is unsigned and was first seen on Oct 22, 2026 with only two submitters, so its origin cannot be confirmed from a publisher signature or wide distribution.
- Sophos and three machine-learning engines flagged it. Their labels are generic, but they are not proof of a false positive.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 17 other major antivirus engines flagged it.
- Sandbox runs showed only standard installer activity and no network contacts.
- No public malware database or malware-specific rule lists this file.
- The file is not code-signed.
- It is very new and has been submitted by only two sources.
- Sophos and three machine-learning engines gave it generic detections.

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.
EvidenceT1055 (sandbox MITRE mapping)
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.
How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. 4 antivirus detections make that low prevalence materially relevant, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.
