    Hi

    today i had the wish to use cool edit again

    i downloaded from softpedia
    -http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Editors-Recorders/Cool-Edit-Pro.shtml


    the weird thing is that i can download from 2 mirrors

    1) mirror us
    2) mirror ro

    but the files has different md5

    2418A761EA512E702E8E8E204FE6A85A
    and
    28C913C0AB1977184E70E8C8BC09670E


    that's weird if i try to install under sandboxie , it starts a loop without an installation


    i tried Buster Sandbox Analyzer without success

    can someone give a look , please?

    thanks
    cheers

    Maybe one of the servers has a broken installer? I remember something similar happening with SpywareBlaster. The official website had one hash value, but Softpedia's file had a different hash.

    Anyway, I'm wondering if those are false positives or actually sign of an adultered installer? o_O

    Although there are detections by other vendors i have analyzed both files and this is not malware.

    It is strange that the mirrors have different md5's and that the file structure of the installer is slightly different between the two. But its just strange and neither installs or is any malware.

    The detections at VT are mostly generic/heuristic ones and thus can be false positives.

    how did you analyze the files?

    i did it too , inside sandboxie and the installer did not start, i was not able to kill the process with process hacker

    and i sent the files to anti malware

    maybe they are different files

    do they have the same md5 i posted?


    thanks a lot

    Yes they have the same md5's. I anaylzed both download mirrors. I installed them on a physical box. Then ran fine on this end. Might be something to do with the sandbox u used.

    i did email to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware about these files, to check and eventually add them

    by the way anti malware support is top notch , mam misses only a detection history

    thanks Shadowwar
