Is AnyDesk (3).exe safe? Not fully confirmed.

No antivirus engine flags this AnyDesk-named program, but we could not confirm a valid publisher signature or observe how it behaves when run.

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why not Safe? It has no verified publisher signature and no sandbox test run results are available.

Limited evidence · Nothing points to a problem, but little confirms who made it.

Keep normal caution and get it from the official source

Verify that the file carries a valid AnyDesk Software GmbH signature, or download a fresh copy from the official AnyDesk website. Only grant remote access to people you contacted yourself.

Good practice2 tips

Low Risk: no threat found, but we could not fully confirm this file.

  1. Get it from the publisher's own website or app store, not from a re-upload or a link someone sent you.

  2. Keep your security software on, and stop if the file does anything you didn't expect.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, and no threat database lists it. However, we hold no verified code signature tying it to AnyDesk's publisher, no record of how widely it is used and no observation from the test run. That leaves too little to confirm it is the genuine product.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • No engine out of 76 flagged the file and no threat-intelligence database lists it, which fits a genuine AnyDesk build whose signature details simply were not captured.

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 AnyDesk (3).exe safe?
AnyDesk (3).exe is rated Low Risk: we found no threat, but we could not fully confirm this file. None of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flag it, but that alone is not enough to call it Safe. Keep normal caution and get it from the official source.
What is AnyDesk (3).exe?
AnyDesk (3).exe is a Windows program, about 8.4 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Apr 9, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected AnyDesk (3).exe?
None of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flag AnyDesk (3).exe. 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 AnyDesk (3).exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of AnyDesk (3).exe is 2ac2da18754e34bb6bab866ebba03a741a487648aadda7b25d88e2b2b5fa8df6, and its MD5 is ef6a52386045c0102c0cf309103fe355. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of AnyDesk (3).exe?
This report reflects the scan on Apr 20, 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. If you ran this file and are worried, scan your device with up-to-date security software.
