Is Razer Installer.exe safe?
No antivirus engine detected malware, and the verified Razer signature supports legitimacy, although process-injection and LSASS-related telemetry merits limited caution.
All 75 antivirus engines were free of detections, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the executable carries a verified Razer USA Ltd. signature. One sandbox produced potentially concerning process-injection and LSASS-related telemetry, but issued no malicious conclusion; use the installer only if it came from Razer’s official release channel.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 antivirus engines were free of detections, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the executable carries a verified Razer USA Ltd. signature. One sandbox produced potentially concerning process-injection and LSASS-related telemetry, but issued no malicious conclusion; use the installer only if it came from Razer’s official release channel.
The sample received no malicious or suspicious detection from any of 75 antivirus engines, including all 17 tier-1 engines. Its signature verifies as Razer USA Ltd., there is no brand conflict, and a signer-matched historical sample was also clean. One completed sandbox run did not issue a malicious conclusion, while ten inspected child hashes produced no malicious child finding. However, mappings to T1055 and T1562.001, along with reported LSASS targeting, are meaningful counter-signals and reduce confidence. The host check covered eight hosts but not every distinct network contact, so it cannot establish a completely clean network profile.
What We Detected
No malicious or suspicious results appeared among 75 antivirus engines, and all 17 tier-1 engines were free of detections. The executable is signed with a verified certificate for Razer USA Ltd., with no detected conflict between its branding and signer. A previous signer-matched sample also received a clean assessment, although that history contains only one sample.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox run produced no malicious conclusion and no confirmed persistence indicators. Ten dropped children were inspected without a malicious result, but their individual verdicts remain unknown. Runtime mappings included T1055, T1485, T1486, T1543, and T1562.001, while heuristics highlighted possible process injection and activity involving LSASS; these observations are concerning but do not independently prove credential theft or malware activity. Eight contacted hosts had no cached malicious or suspicious reputation, but that check did not cover every distinct observed domain and IP.
What To Do Now
Confirm that the installer was obtained directly from Razer's official website or updater and that Windows still reports the signature as valid before execution. Keep endpoint protection enabled, and quarantine or re-download the file if its origin or signature cannot be verified.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection fired on T1055, indicating possible process injection despite the absence of an engine or sandbox malware verdict.
- MalwareTips.Synth.CredentialDumper reports activity targeting lsass.exe; this is a meaningful behavioral concern, although the saved runtime data does not establish credential theft.
- contactedHosts.inspected=8 does not cover every distinct domain and IP recorded in behaviour, so no complete host-reputation result is available.
- signerStats.totalSamples=1 and droppedChildren lists 10 unknown child verdicts, limiting the strength of the signer and child-file reassurance.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 antivirus engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- All 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- The signature verifies as Razer USA Ltd.
- No brand mismatch was detected.
- The sandbox issued no malicious verdict and no malicious dropped child was found.
- Runtime evidence maps activity to T1055 process injection.
- A heuristic reports process activity involving lsass.exe.
- Additional offensive mappings include T1485, T1486, T1543, and T1562.001.
- Host-reputation coverage did not include every observed network contact.
- All ten dropped-child verdicts remain unknown.
- Signer history is limited to one prior sample.
Use this installer only when sourced from Razer’s official website or updater and after confirming the Razer USA Ltd. signature remains valid. Keep endpoint protection enabled during installation.

MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.
Signatures and behavior heuristics
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
EvidenceC:\Windows\Explorer.EXESandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.
