Is Rewired_WindowsGamingInput.dll safe?
No antivirus engine detected this established DLL, and the available static and sandbox evidence provides no corroborated malware family or malicious outcome.
All 75 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the completed sandbox issued no malicious verdict. The DLL is unsigned and produced one defense-impairment technique indicator, so it should still be obtained from a trusted game or software installation source.

Before using
Use it only as part of software obtained from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already used it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

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 75 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the completed sandbox issued no malicious verdict. The DLL is unsigned and produced one defense-impairment technique indicator, so it should still be obtained from a trusted game or software installation source.
The strongest evidence is complete detection silence: 0 of 75 engines flagged the DLL, including all 17 tier-1 engines. One completed sandbox recorded T1562.001, but it did not produce a malicious sandbox verdict, persistence indicators, or network contacts. The file was first observed more than two years ago and has 109 submissions from 92 sources, which provides meaningful exposure without accumulated detections. Static PE analysis found neither likely packing nor high-entropy code, and external intelligence produced no matching malware or YARA evidence. The main limitation is that the DLL is unsigned, while all three inspected child hashes remain unclassified and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
What We Detected
None of 75 antivirus engines flagged the DLL, including 17 tier-1 engines. The sample has also accumulated 109 submissions from 92 sources since April 2024 without a named threat family. Static PE analysis found no recognized packer, no likely packing, and no high-entropy code.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox recorded T1562.001, a defense-impairment technique, alongside nine more common environmental or loading techniques. The sandbox did not issue a malicious verdict, record persistence, or observe contacted domains, IP addresses, or URLs. Three dropped hashes were inspected without a malicious child finding, but their individual verdicts remain unknown. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available because that cross-check was not saved.
What To Do Now
Use the DLL only as part of the game or application that originally supplied it, and verify or reinstall that application through its official distribution channel if the file appeared unexpectedly. Keep endpoint protection enabled and avoid manually registering or loading the DLL when its origin is uncertain.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- signing.applicable=true and signing.signed=false, so the DLL has no authenticated publisher.
- T1562.001 was recorded in the completed sandbox and represents an impairment-of-defenses technique, although the sandbox issued no malicious verdict.
- contactedHosts=null, so no complete host-reputation result is available; the sandbox itself recorded no contacted domains, IPs, or URLs.
- All 3 inspected dropped children have unknown verdicts, so droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false is not equivalent to affirmative benign classification.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 engines reported malicious or suspicious results.
- 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false in 1 completed sandbox.
- peAnalysis.likelyPacked=false and peAnalysis.highEntropyCode=false.
- No CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, or YARAify match was found.
- The DLL is unsigned despite code signing being applicable.
- The sandbox recorded MITRE technique T1562.001.
- Three dropped child hashes remain unclassified.
- No complete contacted-host reputation cross-check is available.
Use the DLL only from the original application's trusted installation source; reinstall or verify that application if provenance is uncertain. Keep endpoint protection enabled.
