[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1027375, member: 52014"] Based on the information you have provided, it's difficult to conclusively determine if the file you downloaded is malware or simply a false positive detection. However, the fact that the file has been detected by multiple antivirus engines on VirusTotal raises suspicion. It's important to err on the side of caution and not run any files that have been flagged by antivirus software, regardless of whether they are legitimate or not. If you are unsure about the safety of a file, it's best to contact the software developer or seek assistance from a security expert. In addition, it's worth noting that malware authors often use file extensions that are commonly associated with legitimate files (such as .com) to disguise their malicious code. So, it's always good practice to verify the source of the file and exercise caution when downloading and running executables from the internet. [/QUOTE]
