Why we think so

4 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.

Analyst conclusion

The antivirus engines shows zero detections on this new portable EXE. It uses Microsoft Edge WebView2 and connects to a Cloudflare IP, typical for web-based apps.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat

Unsigned (signing.signed=false), new age (1 day), no similarHashes or signerStats — lacks trust anchors.

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 winscript-portable.exe safe?

We found nothing harmful in winscript-portable.exe. None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.

What is winscript-portable.exe?

winscript-portable.exe is a Windows program, about 11.2 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Apr 25, 2026.

How many antivirus engines detected winscript-portable.exe?

None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag winscript-portable.exe. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.

What is the SHA-256 hash of winscript-portable.exe?

The SHA-256 fingerprint of winscript-portable.exe is 217663b0928af6be647766aa9d81e028802e7b957258e821f0c48fec47434707, and its MD5 is df2b7aa621032f7d173d1568c5f9ea80. 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 winscript-portable.exe?

We found nothing harmful in winscript-portable.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 winscript-portable.exe?

This report reflects the scan on Apr 27, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
