Before running
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already ran 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 76 engines returned clean. The file is signed by the legitimate DVDFab publisher and has been submitted for nearly eleven years with no malicious children or external-intel hits.
Zero detections across tier-1, tier-2 and low-trust engines combined with verified signing by the known software vendor outweigh the four MITRE techniques recorded during sandbox execution. Those techniques are consistent with a commercial installer that performs process elevation and persistence setup. The single imphash-based RAG hit is discounted because the prior sample used a different signer. Medium prevalence over a decade further supports a benign classification.
What We Detected
76 antivirus engines scanned the 62 MB Win32 executable; none flagged it malicious. The binary is Authenticode-signed by Fengtao Software Inc. and shows no brand mismatch. Sandbox execution recorded four MITRE techniques (process injection, token manipulation, autostart registry key, disable security tools) but produced no malicious verdict and dropped only benign child files.
Threat Behavior
The installer writes files under Program Files (x86)\DVDFab 9 and creates several named mutexes typical of commercial setup packages. Four direct-IP connections were observed; because contactedHosts is null, no reputation verdict is available for those addresses. No persistence mechanisms beyond standard installer behaviour were identified.
What To Do Now
The file can be executed if obtained from the official DVDFab website. Keep Windows Defender and other endpoint protection enabled; no disabling of security software is required or recommended.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Sandbox observed direct-IP connections to 192.229.211.108, 23.216.147.76, 20.99.186.246, 20.99.133.109 with no domain names recorded; contactedHosts is null so no reputation result available.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/76 engines flagged malicious
- Verified signature from Fengtao Software Inc.
- Medium prevalence over 3996 days
- No malicious dropped children
- Sandbox recorded direct-IP traffic without domain names
Treat as safe; the evidence supports legitimate commercial software with no malicious indicators.

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.
Evidence%SAMPLEPATH%\8b895f253fc1418c940aa7be6704c46734514a160adff936ca7f1c45a631dd08.exeThe sample contacted an external IP address directly and no application domain was recorded. Direct-IP traffic also occurs in legitimate installers and infrastructure, so this is supporting context only and requires corroboration from host reputation and other runtime evidence.
