Verdict Safe
Is Setup Tape v2.
No engine detected malware in this long-established installer, although its unsigned status and potentially offensive runtime techniques justify obtaining it from a trusted source.

Strong evidence · Widely seen for a long time, and nothing harmful found.
Good practice2 tips
We found nothing harmful in this file.
Install it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 71 antivirus engines that checked it were free of detections, including 17 major antivirus engines, and the file has circulated since 2021 across 144 sources. One sandbox mapped potentially offensive techniques and direct-IP traffic, but produced no malicious verdict; because host-reputation coverage is unavailable and the executable is unsigned, use only a trusted copy.
The strongest evidence is the complete absence of detections across 75 engines, including 17 major antivirus engines. The sample has also been submitted 169 times by 144 sources since 2021, giving security products substantial time and exposure to identify known malware. A completed sandbox mapped T1055, T1134, and T1547.001, but did not issue a malicious verdict, and no inspected child was identified as malicious. The executable is unsigned, and its direct-IP contacts were not covered by a saved host-reputation cross-check, so those aspects remain cautionary rather than exculpatory. No family consensus, curated intelligence hit, brand mismatch, suspicious packing, or confirmed malicious child supports a malware attribution.
What We Detected
No antivirus engine flagged the sample: 0 of 75 detections, with all 17 major antivirus engines reporting no detection. It has circulated since January 2021, with 169 submissions from 144 sources, and no malware family consensus or curated intelligence match was present.
Threat Behavior
One completed sandbox run mapped activity to T1055, T1134, and T1547.001, including possible process injection, token-related activity, and startup persistence. It also observed direct connections to external IP addresses, but no malicious sandbox verdict was issued. A complete reputation result for those contacted hosts is unavailable, and the 10 dropped files were not individually confirmed benign even though none was identified as malicious.
What To Do Now
Confirm the SHA-256 hash and obtain the installer from the software vendor or another trusted release channel, since the executable lacks a digital signature. Keep security software enabled and avoid running the file if its source or expected purpose cannot be verified.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- Code signing applies to this file type but the file is unsigned, so publisher identity and integrity cannot be authenticated.
- The completed sandbox mapped activity to T1055, T1134, and T1547.001, including possible process injection and persistence-related behavior.
- triggeredHeuristics includes one of our behaviour rules after direct connections to external IP addresses; the missing contacted-host reputation result means no complete host-reputation result is available.
- All 10 inspected files it created have unknown individual verdicts, despite the absence of a known-malicious dropped file.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it detected malware
- Long-established sample with 169 submissions from 144 sources
- No malicious sandbox verdict
- No known malicious file it created or curated intelligence hit
- Unsigned Windows executable with no authenticated publisher
- Sandbox mapping to process injection
- Sandbox mapping to access-token manipulation
- Sandbox mapping to registry or startup-folder persistence
- Direct external-IP contacts without a complete host-reputation cross-check

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.
EvidenceT1055 (sandbox MITRE mapping)
Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Widely seen in the wild for a long time. High prior this is legitimate; isolated detections on common-old files are usually false positives.
