Is PopcornFlix_app.exe safe?
No antivirus engine detected the signed executable, and its single sandbox run produced no malicious verdict, persistence, network contacts, or known-bad child.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 high-trust engines, and the executable carries a verified SOFTWARE DYNAMICS AS signature. One sandbox mapped T1134 but produced no malicious verdict; the main limitations are an unestablished signer history and three dropped files whose individual status remains unknown.

Before running
Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
If you already ran it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 high-trust engines, and the executable carries a verified SOFTWARE DYNAMICS AS signature. One sandbox mapped T1134 but produced no malicious verdict; the main limitations are an unestablished signer history and three dropped files whose individual status remains unknown.
The strongest evidence is complete detection silence across 74 antivirus engines, with all 17 high-trust participants reporting no threat. The executable is validly signed by SOFTWARE DYNAMICS AS, and no mismatch between the claimed brand and certificate holder was detected. One completed sandbox run mapped T1134, but it recorded no malicious sandbox verdict, persistence indicators, registry changes, or network contacts. Three dropped children were inspected without a known malicious result, although their individual verdicts remain unknown. Prior imphash matches are not persuasive because they belong to different signers and likely reflect a shared installer framework. No complete contacted-host reputation result is available, but the runtime record itself contains no contacted hosts to cross-check.
What We Detected
The executable was not flagged by any of 74 antivirus engines. All 17 high-trust engines reported no detection, and the file has a verified digital signature from SOFTWARE DYNAMICS AS with no detected brand mismatch.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run mapped T1134, a token-manipulation technique that can appear in offensive activity, alongside 16 more common techniques. The run produced no malicious sandbox verdict, persistence indicators, registry changes, mutexes, or observed network contacts. Three files were dropped and none is known to be malicious, but each still lacks an individual verdict. No complete host-reputation cross-check was saved.
What To Do Now
Use the file only if it came from the expected publisher or an official distribution channel, and keep endpoint protection enabled. If its origin is uncertain, verify the certificate details and rescan the extracted components before installation.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- The signer 'SOFTWARE DYNAMICS AS' has no recorded history in signing.signerStats, so the valid certificate lacks historical publisher corroboration.
- T1134 was mapped as an offensive runtime technique, although no sandbox produced a malicious verdict and the other 16 techniques were ambient.
- All three dropped children have unknown individual verdicts, so droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false is not equivalent to positive clearance.
- contactedHosts=null means no complete host-reputation cross-check was available; the sandbox recorded no contacted domains, IPs, or URLs.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 antivirus engines reported a detection.
- All 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- The signature from SOFTWARE DYNAMICS AS is verified.
- No brand mismatch or packing was detected.
- The completed sandbox produced no malicious verdict or persistence indicators.
- T1134 token manipulation was mapped during the single sandbox run.
- The signer has no historical sample statistics in signing.signerStats.
- Three dropped children remain individually unknown.
- No complete contacted-host reputation cross-check was available.
Obtain the installer from the publisher's official channel and confirm the SOFTWARE DYNAMICS AS certificate before running it. Keep endpoint protection enabled and rescan if the signature or source differs.
