Safety FAQ
Common questions about OOAPB.exe, answered from the scan data above.
- OOAPB.exe appears safe. 76 of 76 antivirus engines report it clean. It carries a verified digital signature from O&O Software GmbH. As a habit, only run files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
- OOAPB.exe is a Windows executable program, about 2.2 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. It carries a verified digital signature from O&O Software GmbH. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
- None — all 76 antivirus engines we queried report OOAPB.exe as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
- Yes — OOAPB.exe carries a valid digital signature from O&O Software GmbH, which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
- The SHA-256 hash of OOAPB.exe is 053ce0a4f1cddd3bc6eff802cd1e39a2c55a33798e7ed46df902729bb04941c1, and its MD5 is 16c542b143a0136b5d404bf5179ea923. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
- Based on this scan, yes — OOAPB.exe shows no threat indicators and is properly signed. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.
- This report reflects the scan run on April 20, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of OOAPB.exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
