The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Our analysis finds this file safe: verified signature by Overwolf (CurseForge publisher), clean major antivirus engine consensus, and only benign installer behaviors. The single less reliable detection from DeepInstinct is a likely false positive. No malicious activity in the test run detected.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Single DeepInstinct 'MALICIOUS' detection without named family could signal undetected threat, though contradicted by 17 major clean verdicts.
  • triggeredHeuristics flags 'Overwolf Ltd' signer CN as suspicious (short/generic); possible reseller cert despite verified signature.
  • prevalence='rare and newly seen' 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.

Is CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe. 1 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flags it; after weighing the other evidence we treat that alert as false alarms. It has a valid digital signature from Overwolf Ltd. Install it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe is a software installer, about 2.8 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on May 11, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
1 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flags CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe (Deep Instinct). We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
Is CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe digitally signed?
Yes. CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe has a valid digital signature from Overwolf Ltd, which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
What is the SHA-256 hash of CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe is 2322168b25cad7c8cd1d5e2c396da72da4cf2d3e3b72423e5bfc799acf590040, and its MD5 is fb6a288aac2548d2c608a3c588d04de8. 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 install CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
We found nothing harmful in CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe, and its digital signature checks out. 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 CurseForge Windows - Installer.exe?
This report reflects the scan on May 11, 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.
