Why Suspicious? 21 antivirus engines flag it and one sandbox test run rated it malicious while another found nothing.

Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.

Don't install it until you know where it came from

Avoid running this unofficial installer. Delete it, obtain software only from legitimate sources, and keep your security software enabled.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't install it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already installed it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

This unsigned installer appears to be a repacked or cracked game setup, first seen on Oct 17, 2026. Microsoft, TrendMicro, Symantec and other engines flag it, several with crack-related labels. The sandbox runs disagreed: one combined label says malware and another says clean.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The file is widely shared (over 3,000 submitters) and the observed activity is ordinary installer behaviour, so the detections may target the cracked game content rather than hidden malware.
  • Ten major antivirus engines, including BitDefender, Avast, Avira and DrWeb, reported no detection.

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

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.

  • Moderate concern: Unpacked hidden content while it ran.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Read the user name of the test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as contacting a server, but no contacted host was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Questions & answers

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

Is setup.exe safe, or is it malware?
setup.exe is rated Suspicious: some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. 21 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Don't install it unless you're sure where it came from. If you need the software, download a fresh installer from the developer's own website.
What is setup.exe?
setup.exe is a software installer, about 6.4 MB. Its version information says it is “Bloodborne Setup” (Bloodborne). Version information is written by whoever built the file, so it is a claim, not proof of who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 17, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected setup.exe?
21 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag setup.exe, including Microsoft and Symantec (Norton). We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
I already downloaded and installed setup.exe — what should I do?
No infection is confirmed: the rating is a caution, not a malware finding. 1) Check where it came from. If you can't confirm the source, delete it. 2) Run a full scan with your security software. 3) If the scan finds something, follow its removal steps and change passwords you typed on the device since then.
What is the SHA-256 hash of setup.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of setup.exe is 0ccd3b7d2c6d08af43c37a662ec9673f8d11b098dd91065545fee7a236de45d4, and its MD5 is d2ff96df6a2e00c2ec5362cff715d46c. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of setup.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 25, 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.
