Analyst conclusion

Our analysis finds this file safe: verified signature by Overwolf (CurseForge publisher), clean tier-1 engine consensus, and only benign installer behaviors. The single low-trust detection from DeepInstinct is a likely false positive. No malicious runtime activity detected.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Single DeepInstinct 'MALICIOUS' detection without named family could signal undetected threat, though contradicted by 17 tier1 clean verdicts.
  • triggeredHeuristics flags 'Overwolf Ltd' signer CN as suspicious (short/generic); possible reseller cert despite verified signature.
  • prevalence='rare_new' with ageDays=0 leaves limited community validation.

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

Recommended action

This is a safe, legitimate CurseForge installer. Proceed with installation if downloaded from official Overwolf/CurseForge channels; monitor for unexpected behavior.

It carries a verified digital signature from Overwolf Ltd. Install it only when it came from the developer's official site or an official app store.
What is CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
Evidence-based answer
CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe is a software installer (application/x-msdownload), about 2.7 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. It carries a verified digital signature from Overwolf Ltd. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
Evidence-based answer
1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe, 1 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence.
Is CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe carries a valid digital signature from Overwolf Ltd, which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
What is the SHA-256 hash of CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe is 2322168b25cad7c8cd1d5e2c396da72da4cf2d3e3b72423e5bfc799acf590040, and its MD5 is fb6a288aac2548d2c608a3c588d04de8. 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.
Is it safe to install CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe has a low observed risk and is properly signed. 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, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on May 11, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of CurseForge Windows - Installer.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.
