ThreatInfo has observed libxml2.dll in the locations listed above. Files found in temporary folders, user profile folders, startup locations, or unusual application directories should be reviewed more carefully than files installed under a known program directory.

Windows 10 66.7%
Windows 7 33.3%

The most common operating system signal for libxml2.dll is Windows 10 with 66.7% of observed hits. If your system differs from the common profile, check whether the file was introduced by a specific installer, archive, or removable device.

libxml2.dll is identified as pe for 32-bit systems. The subsystem is Windows GUI. PE header values are useful for triage, especially when they do not match the expected publisher, product, or release timeline.
