Safe
Legitimate signed CurseForge installer from Overwolf Ltd with one low-trust AV flag and no supporting tier-1 detections or malicious behavior.
2322168b25cad7c8cd…9acf590040The 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 zero tier-1 malicious detections and onlyLowTrustFlagging=true from DeepInstinct, this matches a common false positive pattern. The verified Overwolf Ltd signature aligns perfectly with the CurseForge installer filename, despite a low-severity heuristic noting the generic CN. Behavior shows typical installer techniques (T1134 among ambient ones) but nothing malicious in sandboxes or contacts. No external intel, RAG, or drops reinforce safety for this rare_new file.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe, answered from the scan data above.
- CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe appears safe. 74 of 75 antivirus engines report it clean, with only 1 low-confidence detection that read as false positives. It carries a verified digital signature from Overwolf Ltd. 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.
- CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe is a Windows executable program (application/x-msdownload), about 2.7 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. 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).
- 1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe, 1 of them as outright malicious. A small number of detections can include false positives, so we weigh which engines flagged it and what else the file does, not just the raw count.
- 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.
- 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.
- Based on this scan, yes — CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe shows no threat indicators 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 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 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.
