I am not that new to pirating things, but I just do basic stuff. When things seem suspicious to me, that is when I turn to the community for some answers. I hope y'all understand.

I've been looking forward to crack/activate a certain program with the provided "Generic-Hook" crack that requires me to insert two DLL files in its "Programs" folder, but am not sure if these files are just producing false positive or those are total risks. I hope someone enlighten me on this.

Here are the VirusTotal pages for the respective files:

"bb2018[.]dll"

"winmm[.]dll"

Thank you everyone in advanced!

Ok, first of all, i'd recommend you follow this person's advice when you are not sure if something is a virus or not, which is what i'm going to do right now.

I'm suspicious of what's going on in the relations tab, on the execution parents, since there's quite a bit of stuff that's marked as malware by various security vendors, and also there's a lot of executions, which seems weird to me but idk.

And it also seems weird that one of the ddl files is making internet connections.

But the thing that makes me thing that what you downloaded may be malware is the stuff on the behavior tab, if you pay attention, you'll realize that the winmm.dll file is doing changes to the firewall which may be a red flag, and it's also doing some weird stuff on the Process and service actions part, accessing certain files that i don't think it should access, and the same goes to the other ddl file.

And also on the Detection tab there's a few warnings that worry me specially on the bb2018.dll file.

So if i was you i wouldn't use the file at all, but idk maybe i'm being paranoid or something, but just to be safe i wouldn't recommend that you use the software that you downloaded

And finally, always check the wiki for nice sites and always take some preliminary measures before downloading or installing anything.
