File scan report
Verdict Suspicious
Is Open
One less reliable detection contrasts with split sandbox results; the unsigned, protected installer lacks corroborating malicious network, file it created, or family evidence.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Why Suspicious? One antivirus engine (APEX) flags it and one of our detection rules matched it.
Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.
Confirm the file's SHA-256 with the developer's official release before use. Keep security protection enabled and do not run it if the source or checksum cannot be verified.
What to do now4 steps
Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.
What to do
Don't install it unless you're sure where it came from.
Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.
If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.
If you already installed it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.
Not sure what to do?
Ask the MalwareTips community before you run it. If you already ran it, follow the cleanup guide.

Chapter 02
Why we think so
3 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Only 1 of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the installer, and no major antivirus engines identified malware. However, one sandbox run returned a malicious result while another was clean, and the executable is unsigned and protected, so caution is warranted until its origin and checksum are verified.
The antivirus evidence is weak: APEX alone flagged the file, while 14 major antivirus engines reported no detection. Runtime findings are contradictory because one sandbox run returned malicious and another returned clean. The mapping has no named injection target, so it does not establish process injection. The observed hosts had no malicious or suspicious reputation, and no malicious child or malware-specific rule provided corroboration. Nevertheless, the executable is unsigned and protected with .NET Reactor, leaving uncertainty about its publisher and concealed code.
What We Detected
Only 1 of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the installer, and that detection came from APEX, a less reliable detector. No major antivirus engines supplied a malware-family identification. The executable has no digital signature and uses .NET Reactor protection, which makes its code less transparent but does not by itself prove malicious intent.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox evidence is inconsistent: one run returned a malicious assessment while another returned clean. A T1055 mapping appeared without a named injection target, so the evidence does not demonstrate actual process injection. The observed hosts had no malicious or suspicious reputation, and no malicious file it created, persistence indicator, or malware-specific community rule corroborated the adverse result.
What To Do Now
Verify the SHA-256 checksum against the developer's official release information before running it. Keep security software enabled and, if the source or checksum cannot be confirmed, avoid execution or test it only in an isolated environment.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- Only one less reliable engine flagged the file, while 14 major antivirus engines reported no detection.
- No malicious contacted host, malicious child, malware-specific community rule, or public malware-database listing corroborates the adverse sandbox result.
- Four of five files built with the same import table previously received safe outcomes, although their different publishers make those matches weak.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Only 1 of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and no major antivirus engines detected it.
- No observed host was identified as malicious or suspicious.
- No inspected child was identified as malicious.
- No malware-specific community rule or public malware-database listing matched the hash.
- No named process-injection target or persistence indicator was recorded.
- The Windows executable is unsigned, so there is no verified publisher identity.
- One sandbox run produced a malicious assessment, although another run was clean.
- The executable uses .NET Reactor protection, which obscures portions of its code.

What the test run showed
What the file did on a test computer
Confirmed in the test run
Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).
Moderate concern: Unpacked hidden content while it ran.
Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.
Note: Read the user name of the test computer.
Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.
Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.
Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.
This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

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.
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)Unsigned, packed PE with sandbox-observed network activity. The packing step hides the payload until execution; the network call fetches / reports for the next stage. Classic dropper / stager behaviour.

Section entropy & packers
A known packer signature (UPX / Themida / VMProtect / etc.) matched this file. Packers aren't malicious on their own, but most malware uses them.
Packers compress or encrypt the executable and only unpack it at runtime. Legitimate commercial software uses them too — but if the file is also unsigned and rare, it's a strong malware signal.
How widely this file has been seen
Moderate prevalence — neither rare nor common. No strong prior applies.
