[tharunnamboothiri]

This giveaway is open to global users without regional restrictions.
Can you access the SwifDoo official website(https://www.swifdoo.com)?

If the answer is yes, you will be able to access the giveaway landing page.

Yeah, I can access the SwifDoo home page without any issues. I can browse through their website and download the free trial all works. But when I try to open the giveaway link without a US VPN, this is what it looks like. See how the registration part is totally missing?

A little review: this program is surprisingly fast and covers my needs perfectly (saving range of pages from multipage documents, deleting or reshuffling pages, editing out some parts of text so on). If you run the installer at defaults the software makes itself default pdf viewer and integrates with explorer without asking for permission. It is made by Tianjin Xundu Technology. Compared to Perfect PDF by Soft Xpansion that I used previously SwifDoo is faster and the UI is friendlier.
And I have a question to Skylly: is it available in English only? I didn't find any language settings.

Hi,

Is this a rebrand of Wondershare PDFelement?

Similar to features of almost of PDF software
As compared with PDFelement, It only takes up 10 MB of disk space, which is really lightweight in System Resources and yet powerful in Practice. Its Interface is like Microsoft which makes it more familiar to its users. We sincerely invite you to test it and give us some professional suggestions, thank you.

Hello,

Yes, file "SwifdooInstaller_stable.exe" contains PDFRunningHelper.exe ( 0116167639799c814aa977ce41023932) and pdfspeedup.exe that loads malicious and PUA files.

archive.pdfxd[.]com/xundu/new_mini.dll 653115c921a0ab39d230e81ec32cb640
Also these files download files that we detect as not-a-virus:AdWare.Win32.Burden.gen, not-a-virus:AdWare.Win32.Softcnapp.gen

It was the verdict from Kaspersky when harlan submitted it.

Kaspersky still detects this new version installer:

Application name: explorer.exe
Application path: C:\Windows

Result description: Deleted

I don't understand the detection of Kaspersky in Trojan
Doesn't it like something in particular? (packer, confuser, specific line of code etc.

 

[harlan4096]

Yeah, weird but maybe because those PUA files are downloaded

Adware or PUA ( potential unwanted application ) is of course a huge difference from real genuine Malware.

From my own thorough test on this software, I got Zero malicious detection even if I can confirm for example that PDFRunningHelper.exe get's installed, but there's still no malicious connection from that one specific and all it does is help, open the main software faster. Too many other software does the exact same with modules and features that also get's installed/used in the background.

Personal reflection on this, is that Kaspersky's assessment in their view when it comes to PUA or Adware in a majority is correct, but it also feels very sensitive ( possible too much ) in this specific case and that AV's block or flag/warn even 100% genuine legit software and their behavior, ain't anything new. Personal if I used this software and had Kaspersky on my machine and got this blocked, I would simply consider exclude the software in the AV.
