Kiddions Mod Menu

It's hard to determine whether this software is safe.

When I downloaded from here: https://gamingforecast.com/kiddions-mod-menu-free-gta-5-best-free-mod-undetected-2022/ is was quite an ordeal to to so. Once the zip file was downloaded and extracted, Eset didn't detect anything malicious in the only .exe in the archive file. However when the .exe was submitted to VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/61458152c4215d24d3dd2b099a07916871d0ecc2dc3144106eb79e63182b2ae8 , a number of security solutions did flag it as at least a PUA. Of note is the solutions that flagged it detect primarily based on behavior. Also note in the Community section of the VT analysis, a number of cloud sandbox analyses were done on the file with all rendering a malicious verdict.

Personally, I would stay away from the software. It's your call on this one.

Most likely it's detected as suspicious / PUA by some vendors because it's an unsigned file protected with the Themida protector.

The file itman mentioned looks clean

Based on Joe's Cloud Sandbox analysis here: https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/754985/0/html  which rated it malicious, I would say detection is based on the system "fingerprinting" activities it is performing in regards to sandbox or VM use.
