What to do now4 steps
This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.
If you haven't used it
Don't use this component. Let your antivirus remove this component, then repair or reinstall the program it belongs to from its official website. Don't delete or replace the file by hand.
If you already used it
Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full antivirus scan. Microsoft Defender Offline (Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options) also finds malware that hides while Windows runs.
If you typed passwords on the device after running it, change them from another device you trust.
If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall Windows.
If you already ran it, do these in order.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Ten of the 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the DLL, including Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Ikarus, Sophos, and Symantec. The combined sandbox verdict was clean and no high-risk activity in the test run was recorded, but the unsigned file lacks a trusted publisher anchor and the ten independent detections carry greater weight.
The principal concern is that 10 of the 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the DLL, with six major antivirus engines among them and ten independent detection votes. Labels vary between game-hack or unwanted software and generic trojan findings, so they do not reliably establish one named family. The file is unsigned and was submitted by 27 sources after being first seen on Oct 23, 2026, providing no strong publisher or prevalence-based counterweight. Conversely, the combined sandbox verdict was clean, with no high-risk technique, persistence, named injection target, or sample-attributed network activity recorded. That evidence from the test run lowers confidence and leaves a meaningful false-positive possibility, but it does not outweigh the breadth and quality of the engine detections.
What We Detected
Ten of the 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this unsigned Windows DLL. Six major antivirus engines contributed detections: ESET-NOD32 and Fortinet used game-hack or unwanted-software labels, while Ikarus, Microsoft, Sophos, and Symantec used trojan labels. Because these products do not agree on one specific family, the family identity remains unresolved.
Threat Behavior
The sandbox runs produced a combined clean verdict. They recorded no high-risk technique, persistence mechanism, named injection target, or network contact attributable to the sample; the sole recorded address was analysis-environment background traffic. A complete reputation cross-check of contacted hosts was not available, although the sample itself made no attributed contacts during these runs.
What To Do Now
Do not load or register this DLL on a production or personal system. Keep security software enabled, let your antivirus remove the file, and obtain a fresh copy only from a verifiable official source if it is required.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The combined sandbox verdict was clean, and the runs recorded no high-risk technique, persistence, named injection target, or sample-attributed network contact.
- ESET-NOD32 and Fortinet describe the file as a game-hack or potentially unwanted application rather than a specific malware family.
- Three prior files built with the same import table received clean results, but their different publishers or absent signer matches make that similarity 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.
- The combined sandbox verdict was clean, with no high-risk runtime techniques or persistence recorded.
- No named process-injection target or sample-attributed network contact appeared during execution.
- No packer or unusually high-entropy code was identified.
- No malware-specific community rule, public sample-database entry, malicious dropped file, or brand mismatch was found.
- Ten of the 53 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the DLL, and six of those detections came from major antivirus engines.
- The detections represent ten independent engine votes rather than repeated labels from one shared scanning technology.
- The DLL is unsigned, so no verified publisher identity supports its origin.
- Microsoft, Ikarus, Sophos, and Symantec applied trojan-oriented labels.
- The file was first seen on Oct 23, 2026 and has only 27 distinct submitters, so it lacks a long, broad distribution history.

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: 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.
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.
Threat context
How trojans work
A trojan pretends to be something useful or harmless so that you run it. Once open, it does its real job in the background, from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.
Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.

Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
These identify the compiler, runtime or installer used to build the file. They are not packing and are not a risk signal on their own.
How widely this file has been seen
Moderate prevalence — neither rare nor common. No strong prior applies.
