Verdict Safe
Is Map
No engine or sandbox identified malware, and the lone observed Microsoft asset connection does not substantiate the unsigned-DLL dropper heuristic.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.

Why we think so
4 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The DLL drew no detections from 75 antivirus engines, including no major flags, and its completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict or offensive technique. Although it is unsigned and marked as likely packed, the resulting dropper rule-based lacks corroboration from network reputation, dropped files, external intelligence, or engine findings.
All 70 antivirus engines that checked it returned without a malicious or suspicious finding, including 16 major antivirus engines reporting no detection. One completed sandbox run recorded no malicious verdict, no high-risk technique, no persistence, and no file it created hash. The sole observed domain was assets.msn.com, and the completed host-reputation check found no malicious or suspicious entry for it. The unsigned status and likely-packed assessment are legitimate cautions, but the high-severity dropper rule-based relies on that single network contact and is not independently corroborated. Prior import-table fingerprint results lean benign, though they carry little weight because none shares a signer identity.
What We Detected
The DLL received 0 malicious and 0 suspicious findings across 75 antivirus engines.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict, no high-risk MITRE technique, no persistence indicator, and no file it created hash. It contacted assets.msn.com; the host-reputation check covered this sole observed contact and found no known-malicious or known-suspicious entry. The DLL is unsigned and the file appears packed, which contributed to the high-severity one of our behaviour rules, but there is no independent evidence of a downloaded stage or remote control activity.
What To Do Now
Use the DLL only if it came with software you expected and preserve normal security software. If its source is unknown or it appeared unexpectedly, verify the parent application's origin before loading it.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The missing code signature means there is no verified publisher identity or established signer history.
- The file appears packed and one of our behaviour rules fired at high severity after observing network activity.
- Prevalence is limited to 2 submitters and 2 submissions, so broad real-world distribution is not established.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/70 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- No major antivirus engines flagged it, with 16 major antivirus engines reporting no detection.
- The completed sandbox run had no malicious verdict and no offensive techniques were mapped.
- The sole observed host was fully checked, with no malicious or suspicious cache result.
- MalwareBazaar and YARAify returned no corroborating hit.
- The Win32 DLL is unsigned and has no publisher history.
- The file appears packed, although no code section has packed-level entropy.
- One of our behaviour rules fired at high severity based on packing and one network contact.
- Only 2 submitters and 2 submissions establish limited prevalence.

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.
These identify the compiler, runtime or installer used to build the file. They are not packing and are not a risk signal on their own.
How widely this file has been seen
Rarely uploaded, and first seen more than two weeks ago. Often niche legitimate software or internal tooling; not a strong malware signal on its own.
