The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

One of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable with a generic trojan label, while no major antivirus engines detected it. The combined sandbox verdict was clean, and the file showed neither a named injection target nor sample-attributed network activity; the isolated community-rule match remains a caution rather than corroboration.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • One community rule, Detect_PowerShell_Obfuscation, matched a malware-associated pattern, although no engine consensus or evidence from the test run corroborated it.
  • The executable is unsigned, so its publisher identity cannot be authenticated.
  • Our static analysis was not available, leaving the community-rule match unverified against the uploaded bytes.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is nvidiaProfileInspector.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in nvidiaProfileInspector.exe. 1 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flags it; after weighing the other evidence we treat that alert as false alarms. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is nvidiaProfileInspector.exe?
nvidiaProfileInspector.exe is a Windows program, about 1.0 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jul 16, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected nvidiaProfileInspector.exe?
1 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flags nvidiaProfileInspector.exe (MaxSecure). We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
What is the SHA-256 hash of nvidiaProfileInspector.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of nvidiaProfileInspector.exe is 071f38bfeec4fab0a33261f7fa010940e2c3c96fb21f03d18d490110ddb90b03, and its MD5 is 6074076c3b227845a5156eeec4b8d7ac. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to run nvidiaProfileInspector.exe?
We found nothing harmful in nvidiaProfileInspector.exe. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of nvidiaProfileInspector.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 11, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
