Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This appears to be a standard installer for the Mechvibes keyboard-sound app. None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, it has been seen from more than 3,700 sources over roughly three years, and the sandbox runs recorded only routine installer behaviour such as unpacking common setup plugins.
None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it. The file is long established, with over 3,700 distinct submitters since late 2023, which is typical of genuine freeware. The sandbox runs recorded techniques common in legitimate software and dropped standard installer plugin libraries, with no named injection target or high-risk techniques. The two community YARA matches are generic rules that ordinary installers trigger. The main caveat is that the installer is unsigned and a few direct-IP connections lack a complete host-reputation check.
What We Detected
None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this installer, and the major antivirus engines that analysed it all reported it clean. Only two generic community YARA rules matched, which ordinary packaged installers routinely trigger.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox runs show a typical setup program unpacking standard installer plugin libraries into a temporary folder. No high-risk techniques or injection into other processes were recorded. A few connections to content-delivery IP addresses were seen, most of them background activity of the analysis machine; no complete host-reputation result is available for them.
What To Do Now
The file looks like a legitimate, widely used installer. Download it from the project's official release page, keep your antivirus enabled, and scan any future versions before running them, since this build is unsigned.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The installer is unsigned, so no publisher identity backs it.
- The combined sandbox summary recorded traffic to a few external IP addresses without a domain, and no complete host-reputation result is available for them.
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 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- Seen from more than 3,700 distinct sources over about three years.
- Sandbox runs showed no high-risk techniques and no injection into other processes.
- Dropped files are standard installer plugin libraries.
- The installer carries no digital signature.
- A few direct connections to IP addresses were recorded without a completed reputation check.

Signatures and behavior heuristics

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.
How widely this file has been seen
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.
