I unfortunately couldn't find any reputation for that file on VT. Where did you find that?

SHA256 hash: 8A5055510F5DD99DF8BAE901949021962B2B463E54547E5027AFB1669736D84D

about a year ago i contacted the developer asking him to store a copy of his (comics viewer) on known file host site ... he replied with this mediafire folder .. since then he updated the files 3-4 times
i did not mention it here before cuz i thought CV isn't popular enough

FTR, here are Virustotal results for the MediaFire ComicsViewer archive and executable:

www.virustotal.com /gui/file/8a5055510f5dd99df8bae901949021962b2b463e54547e5027afb1669736d84d/

So, it appears the executable is clean and, while I couldn't translate the included simplified Chinese (GB2312) 'ComicsViewer.htm', it advertises v3.20 in its "Version Update Record" -- which can be found in a raw Google translation at https://hastebin.com/raw/odetiyimat.

FYI, our database entry (https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=210) lists v3.08 -- same as Softpedia.

ATM, the former ComicsViewer official homepage (http://www.comicer.com/stronghorse/) is unreachable.

the developer don't mind putting his mediafire folder as download source .. it includes english editions of his other works
i just emailed him about the old comicer.com links in "about" section .. replied with "Next version will fix this problem"
i know he is using a blog but i don't think it can be used as a software homepage since the language only Chinese & file links lead to baidu

new version 3.21 (201231)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/n8w7a5mr ... g.zip/file

new version 3.22 (210221)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/nlr7zkmw ... g.zip/file

FTR, ComicsViewer author homepage is www.cnblogs.com/stronghorse/ (as noted 3 posts above by TAIMAT and in the DjvuToy topic by toitoy).

Greetings
Latest Version --> 4.00 (there were many updates between 3.22 & 4.00 that i missed)

Update History (Translated using Google translate):
Version 4.00
New feature: Supports files named PDG, which are actually WEBP.
Enhancement: Support some non-standard GIF files.
Function enhancement: Change from 32-bit application to 64-bit application, to solve the problem of insufficient memory caused by too large images when displaying in parallel pages.
Enhancement: Optimize image decoding and image processing based on OpenMP, the more CPU threads, the faster the speed.
Bugfix: Disable high DPI scaling to avoid blurry display.
Bugfix: When JPG decoding, the CMYK color space to RGB space is converted to an accurate but slow formula, in order to be consistent with Adobe's results.
Bugfix: In the non-Simplified Chinese Windows environment, the Simplified Chinese version interface displays garbled characters.
Cancel the 32-bit version and issue the 64-bit version instead. The runtime requires x64 version of VC 2019 runtime (v16.11) support, otherwise it will prompt "Cannot start this program because VCOMP140.DLL is missing from the computer." when starting.

Version 3.29
Feature enhancement: support webp files with alpha channel transparency.

Version 2.38
Bugfix: JPEG decoding library was changed from IJL to UIC.

Version 2.37
Bugfix: when decoding 24-bit color JPG images marked with APP14, there could be a color cast.

Version 3.26
Function correction: In the "Page Display" option, remove the "Left Mouse Click Roaming" option and replace it with a comprehensive "Click Left Mouse Button" option.
Function correction: In the edge trimming interface, the thumbnail algorithm of the preview image is changed to bilinear interpolation.

Version 3.25
Bugfix: when decoding certain palette images, it would exit with an error.

Version 3.24
Bugfix: If an error is found when decoding some TIFFs, it no longer exits the decoding process directly, but continues to try to decode the remaining parts.

Version 3.23
New function: "Black and white text" and "Text + red stamp" options are added under "Illuminance Correction", which has a strong automatic enhancement effect for books photos with uneven illumination taken by mobile phones.
Function correction: cancel the option of "illuminance correction + rotation" under "illuminance correction", and change it to automatic judgment.

Latest Version 4.02

Version 4.02
Bugfix: After upgrading to the x64 version, the right-click menu of the resource manager still cannot be added under the condition of running with administrator privileges.

Version 4.01
Bugfix: When decoding JPEG 2000, the conversion from CMYK color space to RGB space uses an accurate but slow formula to be consistent with Adobe's results.
Bugfix: If a color JPG file does not have a standard header, the red and blue may be reversed after decoding.

Latest Version 4.04

Version 4.04
Bugfix: After changing the zip core code from Infozip to libzip, opening large files in zip files is not as fast as before.

Version 4.03
Function enhancement: ZIP and RAR file passwords are allowed to use Chinese, but they cannot contain special Unicode characters that will become question marks after being converted to ANSI encoding, otherwise it will be invalid.
Function enhancement: The zip core code is changed from Infozip to libzip to support the latest AES encryption.
Function enhancement: zlib version is upgraded to 1.2.13.
