Reasoning

The file is a Win32 EXE named WinRAR-720.exe, roughly the size of a typical WinRAR setup package. All 72 engines that analyzed it, including top ones like BitDefender, Kaspersky, Avast, ESET, and Fortinet, reported it as undetected with no malicious traits. It has a PE signature and is digitally signed, common for legitimate software. If run, it should behave as expected for WinRAR without stealing data or installing malware. Always verify downloads match official sources to avoid tampered copies.

Points in its favour
  • 72 out of 76 engines reported undetected, including BitDefender, Kaspersky, Avast, ESET, and Fortinet.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
