Verdict Suspicious
Is hamburbur.
Two higher-trust engines flagged this unsigned, likely packed DLL, while conflicting labels and a clean sandbox run prevent a conclusive family attribution.

Why Suspicious? 5 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.
Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.
If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.
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 use 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 used it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The DLL has meaningful warning signs: 5 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, including ESET-NOD32 and Microsoft, and its unsigned code appears packed or heavily obfuscated. However, the engines do not agree on a family, and the completed sandbox run found no confirmed payload, persistence, injection, or malicious host contact.
Five of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it detected the DLL, with ESET-NOD32 describing a potentially unsafe game modification and Microsoft applying a generic trojan label. Those two higher-trust detections require caution, but they do not form a family consensus. The antivirus analysis shows an unsigned DLL whose main code section has very high entropy, consistent with packing or substantial obfuscation. The sandbox mapped archive collection and reflective code loading techniques, yet its overall result was clean and it recorded neither process injection nor persistence. The apparent network activity does not corroborate a downloader because the observed IP was identified as analysis-environment background traffic and the inspected host had no cached threat reputation. Overall, the evidence is materially concerning but remains mixed rather than conclusive.
What We Detected
Five of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the DLL. The strongest detections came from ESET-NOD32, which used a potentially unsafe game-modification label, and Microsoft, which reported a generic Sabsik trojan classification. The remaining detections were generic machine-learning, downloader, or trojan labels, so there is no reliable agreement on one malware family.
Threat Behavior
The DLL is unsigned and its main code section has exceptionally high entropy, indicating packing or heavy obfuscation. The test run mapped T1560.002 and T1620, which can represent archive collection and reflective code loading, but the completed run returned clean and recorded no persistence, injected process, or file it created. The observed IP was analysis-environment background traffic, not evidence of sample-controlled communication, and the inspected host had no cached malicious or suspicious reputation.
What To Do Now
Do not load this DLL with rundll32 or place it into a game or application directory on a production system. Keep security software enabled, obtain the file again from a verified official source, and quarantine or delete it if its origin cannot be authenticated.
Where this verdict could be wrong5 caveats
- Only 5 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and the two higher-trust detections disagree between a game-modification label and a generic trojan label.
- The completed sandbox run returned clean and did not record persistence, process injection, or a file it created.
- The inspected contact had no cached malicious or suspicious reputation, and the observed IP was identified as analysis-environment background traffic.
- Four files built with the same import table previously received benign assessments, although matches on the import table alone without a matching signer can reflect a shared build framework rather than common authorship.
- No malware-specific YARA, MalwareBazaar, or CIRCL corroboration was found.
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 5 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and the higher-trust engines did not agree on one family.
- The completed sandbox run returned clean and recorded no persistence, process injection, or file it created.
- The inspected network contact had no cached malicious or suspicious reputation; the observed IP was attributed to analysis-environment background activity.
- No malware-specific researcher rules or known-malware repository match corroborated the detections.
- Two higher-trust antivirus engines detected the DLL, one as a generic trojan and one as potentially unsafe game-modification software.
- The DLL has no digital signature or established publisher history.
- Its main code section has very high entropy, consistent with packing or heavy obfuscation.
- The test run mapped archive-collection and reflective code-loading techniques.
- The file was first observed on Oct 2, 2026 and has moderate rather than broad distribution.

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: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.
Note: Read the user name of the test computer.
Note: Deleted files or logs during the test run (installers often clean up after themselves).
Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.
Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).
Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as loading code in memory; nothing confirms it.
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.
