Why we think so
0 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this installer, and it carries a valid signature from Wizards of the Coast LLC. Four sandbox runs showed typical MSI installer activity with no high-risk techniques, and the network contacts it made had no malicious reputation.
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 18 major antivirus engines that returned a result. The file carries a valid code signature from Wizards of the Coast LLC, which matches the game installer it appears to be. Four sandbox runs recorded only techniques common in legitimate software, launching MsiExec and writing installer resources to a temporary folder, with no named injection target. The installer reached two IP addresses directly, but our host reputation check found nothing malicious or suspicious among its contacts. With about 105 distinct submitters over five months and no hits in public malware databases or community rules, the evidence consistently points to a legitimate installer.
What We Detected
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file. It carries a valid code signature from Wizards of the Coast LLC, is not packed, and has no matches in public malware databases or community YARA rules. It has been submitted by about 105 distinct sources over roughly five months.
Threat Behavior
Across four sandbox runs, the installer extracted an MSI package and interface images to a temporary folder and handed off to the Windows Installer service, which is normal for an Advanced Installer-based setup. No high-risk techniques were recorded and no process was injected into. It connected to two IP addresses directly; our host reputation check of its contacts found none known to be malicious or suspicious.
What To Do Now
This appears to be a genuine game installer. Download it from the official publisher site or a trusted store, and keep your antivirus enabled as usual.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The installer contacted two external IP addresses without an application domain being recorded, though both were checked against our host reputation data with no malicious or suspicious result.
- The publisher is not on our curated trusted list and we hold no prior history for this signer.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

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)The 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.

Section entropy & packers
