I was trying to install an intel user file. V T says it is clean but when trying to install the file Voodoo says 16 engines say a spawned exe is bad along with malwarebytes.

VirusTotal makes use of the

checkmark symbol to indicate that the given file was not detected in any way by the antivirus under consideration. We do not use the word "clean" or "innocuous" because antivirus solutions do not tell you whether a file is goodware, they just flag maliciousness.

huh.txt provides a link to a file other than the one blocked, which is dpinst.exe.

You could use Hybrid-Analysis to check if file does some dangerous stuff.

Have you run it in the Cuckoo Sandbox?

They're essentially the same and the user won't be able to interpret the results anyway.

Big companies like M$, etc. are famous for employing un-signed files and Lenovo probably isn't an exception.

dpinst.exe is digitally signed by Intel and ships with Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.

Yes that is correct. VT does not say nmly01af09en.exe is bad nor does hybrid analysis but the spawned file from the install dpinst.exe is found bad.

Yes, the VirusTotal link in "huh.txt" points to nmly01af09en.exe

nmly01af09en.exe
With the VirusTotal info. I made post #4 n' #6.
dpinst.exe Properties did not show Digital Signatures.
