The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

High
Reasoning

The single MaxSecure detection is low-trust and isolated, which normally points to false positive, but the exact imphash matches two prior files both ruled suspicious under the same reason code. No signing, no sandbox data, and no external intel provide no counter-evidence. Medium prevalence over 2674 days suggests some distribution but not enough to clear the pattern of repeated suspicion on this DLL family.

Key signals · 4

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
