We found nothing harmful in this file.
Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on.

Why we think so
4 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
The two detections are generic and limited to less reliable engines; none of the higher-trust engines flagged the executable. Completed sandbox runs recorded no malicious result, named injection target, persistence, or sample-attributed network contact, making a false positive the most likely explanation.
Only 2 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable, and both detections came from less reliable engines using generic labels. None of the higher-trust engines supplied a detection or recognized malware-family name. Five completed sandbox runs produced no malicious result, named injection target, persistence indicator, or sample-attributed network contact. The and mappings lacked the artefacts they describe and therefore do not demonstrate process injection or security tampering. Confidence is moderated because the executable is unsigned, recently observed, and our own static analysis was unavailable.
What We Detected
Only 2 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the executable. Both were less reliable detections with generic labels, while higher-trust engines did not flag it and no recognized malware family was identified.
Threat Behavior
Five completed sandbox runs produced no malicious result, named injection target, persistence indicator, dropped malicious file, or sample-attributed network contact. No complete host-reputation cross-check is available, and our own static analysis was not performed.
What To Do Now
Obtain the installer from its official distribution channel and verify its checksum if the publisher provides one. Keep security software enabled and rescan if the file changes or additional detections appear.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- APEX and McAfeeD flagged the executable, although neither supplied a recognized malware family and no higher-trust engine agreed.
- The executable is unsigned and was first observed on Oct 11, 2026, so publisher identity and long-term reputation cannot support the benign interpretation.
- Our own static analysis was unavailable, and no complete contacted-host reputation result was saved.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the higher-trust antivirus engines flagged the executable.
- Five completed sandbox runs returned no malicious result.
- No named injection target, persistence indicator, or sample-attributed network contact was recorded.
- No malicious file it created, malware-specific community rule, or public malware-database listing was found.
- The executable does not appear packed or contain unusually high-entropy code.
- Two less reliable engines flagged the executable with generic detections.
- The executable is unsigned, so its publisher cannot be authenticated.
- It was first observed on Oct 11, 2026 and has only modest submission history.
- Our own static inspection of the uploaded bytes was unavailable.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
EvidenceT1055 (sandbox MITRE mapping)
Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
These identify the compiler, runtime or installer used to build the file. They are not packing and are not a risk signal on their own.
How widely this file has been seen
Moderate prevalence — neither rare nor common. No strong prior applies.
