Safe
Clean across 71 engines including all tier-1 scanners; behaviour matches WebView2 portable app with minor heuristic flags explained by CDN usage.
217663b0928af6be64…ec47434707The reasoning behind this verdict
The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.
With perfect engine results (0 malicious from 71 reporters, 17 tier-1 clean), this file lacks any detection consensus. Behaviour reveals a standard WebView2 app from flick.winscript.dev, writing expected app data and launching edgewebview2.exe. The direct IP to Cloudflare (162.159.36.2) triggered a heuristic but aligns with CDN asset loading in portable web apps. Unsigned status and newness raise caution, but medium prevalence and no malicious runtime evidence support safety. Anti-debug tags are common in apps.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

YARA & heuristic rule matches
One or more medium-severity heuristic rules matched. Not definitive, but the patterns match known malware behaviour.
Sample contacted 1 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about winscript-portable.exe, answered from the scan data above.
- winscript-portable.exe appears safe. 75 of 75 antivirus engines report it clean. 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.
- winscript-portable.exe is a Windows executable program, about 10.7 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
- None — all 75 antivirus engines we queried report winscript-portable.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.
- The SHA-256 hash of winscript-portable.exe is 217663b0928af6be647766aa9d81e028802e7b957258e821f0c48fec47434707, and its MD5 is df2b7aa621032f7d173d1568c5f9ea80. 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 — winscript-portable.exe shows no threat indicators. 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 27, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of winscript-portable.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.
