User9753 Posted April 10, 2021 ID:1450546 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Not long ago I bought a cheap USB 3.0 to hdmi dongle. It requires a driver to be installed. After plugging in the dongle, the file explore recognized it as a storage device containing 3 files (2 exe files for windows xp and windows 7 and 1 mac file). I guess they are the driver files. To be safe, I ran an in-depth scan on the 3 files , and there were no detections. Afterwards, I uploaded the 2 exe files to Virustotal, and for both files 4 engines detected malicious content. Should I be worried? If I dont run the driver installation, I wouldnt be able to use the dongle. I would be grateful if you guys can have a look Virus Total Results (Windows 7 EXE) VirusTotal Windows XP EXE the suspicious driver source https://1drv.ms/u/s!AspBQrWaUlemb9PtgHvYZQpLJ5I?e=sIDph2 Edited April 11, 2021 by AdvancedSetup disabled live hyperlink Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
