Verdict Suspicious
Is Mechvibes Dx_ 0. 3. 0_ x64- setup. exe safe? Treat it as suspicious.
Unsigned installer with one spyware label from a major antivirus engine, direct-IP contacts, and mixed sandbox annotations.

Why Suspicious? 2 antivirus engines flag it; nothing else confirms it.
Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.
Treat as untrusted until additional independent sandbox reports or a verified publisher signature can be obtained.
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.

Why we think so
4 points against it and 3 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Two engines flagged the sample as Xegumumune spyware, one of them major. The file is unsigned, shows direct-IP network activity without domains, and has community notes linking it to RAT behaviour, yet prevalence is widely seen and long established and most engines are silent.
The one detection from a major antivirus engine on a rare family name is not strong enough for a malicious verdict on its own. Direct-IP a control server behaviour raises concern, but the file is a widely seen and long established NSIS installer with no malicious files it created or sandbox consensus. Similar import-table fingerprint matches were previously rated safe, though without signer overlap. The combination of limited detections, unsigned status, and suspicious network pattern places the sample in mixed-signals territory.
What We Detected
Two engines (Kaspersky major, Rising less reliable) labelled the file Xegumumune spyware. No other major antivirus engines agreed. The sample is an unsigned 65 MB NSIS-style installer that wrote multiple dropped files and created a program markers.
Threat Behavior
Sandbox execution showed direct IP contacts to seven addresses with zero DNS queries, triggering one of our behaviour rules. Two offensive MITRE techniques (T1134, T1543.003) were observed alongside 21 routine behaviours. No malicious files it created or contacted hosts were recorded in our cache.
What To Do Now
Do not execute the installer. If the file was downloaded from an official Mechvibes source, obtain a fresh copy from the vendor site and verify its signature. Submit the sample to additional sandboxes for deeper behavioural analysis before any further use.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- If the single Kaspersky major detection is accurate, the file could be a low-prevalence spyware variant despite the widely seen and long established classification.
- Community comments reference RAT and trojan tags from external sandboxes, but these are unverified researcher annotations without engine corroboration.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 68 of 69 engines returned clean
- Common_old prevalence with hundreds of prior submissions
- No malicious files it created or sandbox verdicts
- One spyware detection from a major antivirus engine on rare family
- Direct-IP network contacts without domains
- Unsigned executable
- Community annotations reference RAT / trojan tags

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: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.
Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a 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.
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 recording keystrokes; no keylogging was confirmed.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as creating a service; no new service was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as setting up auto-start; no auto-start entry was recorded.
Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; 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.
