Fusion is a system library, and it’s associated with .NET Framework. It’s often used to bundle different components with applications.
Is fusion.dll malware?
As previously stated, this file is associated with .NET Framework, so it’s a legitimate file. However, it’s often used to pack installers and unwanted applications, or sometimes even malware, so this is why some antivirus software labels it as harmful.

To identify the application that is using this file, just check your antivirus logs and you’ll be able to find it.
