Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is this video safe?
We found nothing harmful in this video. None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust where it came from.
What is this video?
This video is about 30.7 MB. Its original file name is hidden on this page for privacy, so we identify it by its SHA-256 fingerprint. VirusTotal first saw it on Aug 30, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this video?
None of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flag this video. 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 this video?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this video is 2980ec850d15c4f94b0dc7737ca311351e87e42ec467617c64b421d0225326f8, and its MD5 is 88d8aa5cbca287ee9fd5de2dff4dd333. 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 open this video?
We found nothing harmful in this video. 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 this video?
This report reflects the scan on Aug 30, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.

This report and its SHA-256 fingerprint are public, so the next person who checks the same file gets an instant answer; documents and images are listed by type instead of their file name. A file we had not seen before is uploaded to VirusTotal, whose security partners and subscribers can download it; MalwareTips deletes its own copy after the scan.
