Hi everyone idk this a right place to ask or not but,
I'm reaching out because I raised some security concerns about the v2rayN file on the official GitHub repository (Issue #4887) but haven't received a response.
but I found some red flags:
- VirusTotal Scan: The file triggered warnings on 4 out of 62 antivirus engines (link to the virustotal report).
- Suspicious Behavior: The software seems to be trying to access credentials, modify the registry, and drop additional executables.
- Cryptocurrency Miners: Zenbox report indicated that it dropped cryptocurrency miners.

I'm concerned because the issue was closed on GitHub without any explanation.
I'd appreciate some help from the community:
- Has anyone else encountered similar issues with v2rayN ?
- Is there a safer alternative way to run v2ray on PC?
- Is there a good offline way to know if devices are infected?
