Verdict Safe
Is Ontotrade_
No antivirus engine detected malware, and the signed installer completed a clean sandbox run, though two offensive technique mappings and limited publisher history merit caution.

Why we think so
4 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this signed installer, and its completed sandbox run returned clean without observed persistence or network activity.
The strongest evidence is the absence of detections across 75 engines, including silence from the major group. The executable carries a verified QuantKey LLC signature, although no historical publisher statistics are available to establish a long-term record. One completed sandbox run returned clean and recorded no sample network contacts or persistence indicators. It nevertheless mapped and T1562.001, but no injected target was recorded, so these mappings do not establish hostile intent by themselves. Similar files with the same import hash received concerning prior decisions, but every match involved a different signer and therefore provides only weak installer-framework context. Five extracted children remain unclassified, and no complete host-reputation cross-check is available.
What We Detected
None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable. The file is digitally signed with a verified certificate issued to QuantKey LLC, but there is no established sample history for that signer. No malware-specific YARA rules or external intelligence matches were found.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run returned clean and showed installer-like temporary files, license-related registry entries, and no persistence indicators. The run mapped T1055 (Process Injection) and T1562.001 (Impair Defenses), but no injected process target was recorded and the sandbox did not issue a malicious result. No sample network contacts were observed during that run; however, a separate complete host-reputation cross-check is unavailable. Five extracted files were inspected but have no saved verdicts, so their status remains unresolved.
What To Do Now
Use the installer only if QuantKey LLC and the Ontotrade product are expected, and obtain it from the publisher's official distribution channel. Keep security software enabled, verify the digital signature before execution, and avoid entering credentials or financial information if the source cannot be confirmed.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- The sandbox mapped possible process injection and impairment of defenses, although it did not identify an injected process or return a malicious verdict.
- The publisher signature has no available historical sample record, so it provides identity assurance but limited reputation assurance.
- The installer is uncommon, with only three submitters, which limits confidence derived from prevalence.
- Five extracted files have no saved verdict, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 68 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- The executable has a verified QuantKey LLC digital signature.
- The completed sandbox run returned clean and recorded no persistence indicators.
- No malware-specific research rules or known-sample intelligence matched the file.
- The antivirus analysis found no packer or high-entropy code.
- The test run mapped possible process injection and impairment of defenses, although no target process was identified.
- The publisher certificate has no established historical sample record.
- The file has been submitted by only three sources, providing limited prevalence assurance.
- A complete reputation check for contacted hosts was not available.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
EvidenceT1055 (sandbox MITRE mapping)
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.
How widely this file has been seen
Rarely uploaded, and first seen more than two weeks ago. Often niche legitimate software or internal tooling; not a strong malware signal on its own.
