[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1022148, member: 32260"] That is interesting malware. It has got a broken certificate, so it is not benign. It is not recognized as malicious by most of the top AVs, despite the fact that it is a few weeks old (created in the year 2021???). It is very probable that it is already "dead" (not harmful). It is also very probable that it could be blocked by Norton when it was not dead (too low prevalence and short time in the wild). Many malware samples are alive only for a short time, from several minutes to a few hours. The VT info also suggests that truly malicious actions can be probably performed not by this executable but via DLL hijacking. In such a case, Norton would probably block the attack by blocking the malicious DLL. There can be many similar cases when Norton might not detect the malware, but the user is protected anyway.
