The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

74 engines scanned the file; only Bkav flagged it with a generic label. The sample is unsigned, shows no sandbox malice, and has been submitted by 110 sources since 2012.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The missing contacted-host reputation result means no complete host-reputation cross-check available for the three observed IPs

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

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

Is TerrariaServer.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in TerrariaServer.exe. 1 of the 70 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 TerrariaServer.exe?
TerrariaServer.exe is a Windows program, about 1.8 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jan 18, 2012.
How many antivirus engines detected TerrariaServer.exe?
1 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flags TerrariaServer.exe (Bkav). We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
What is the SHA-256 hash of TerrariaServer.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of TerrariaServer.exe is 12f33fcc95b4f7234c8e6d41563139671c529172b0809c91d9c18f9b9c41d9ec, and its MD5 is 45f656011809e31316d33412d36f5a2d. 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 TerrariaServer.exe?
We found nothing harmful in TerrariaServer.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 TerrariaServer.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 6, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
