Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? 16 antivirus engines flag it and one of our detection rules matched it.

Don't install it until you know where it came from

Treat as unwanted software; obtain uTorrent from official channels instead of third-party bundles.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't install it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already installed it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Six major antivirus engines and four agreeing on the OfferCore family label this file malicious.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • contactedHosts.inspected=17, maliciousHosts.length=0 — no complete contacted-host reputation result was available contacted.
  • No dropped file is known to be malicious, 10 children inspected with no malicious verdicts.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • High concern: Set a trigger that runs code when something else happens.

  • Moderate concern: Created a scheduled task so it runs again later.

  • Moderate concern: Created a Windows service so it keeps running.

  • Moderate concern: Set itself to start automatically after a restart.

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.

  • Moderate concern: Downloaded a file during the test run.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as password-store access, but nothing touched the Windows password store.

  • Not confirmed: Showed activity a sandbox rule links to file encryption; no ransomware behaviour was confirmed.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as searching for passwords; no password file was read.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as reading saved logins; no login store was opened.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

How many antivirus engines detected utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe?
16 of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flag utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe, including Microsoft and ESET. We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
I already downloaded and installed utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe — what should I do?
No infection is confirmed: the rating is a caution, not a malware finding. 1) Check where it came from. If you can't confirm the source, delete it. 2) Run a full scan with your security software. 3) If the scan finds something, follow its removal steps and change passwords you typed on the device since then.
Is utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe digitally signed?
Yes. utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe has a valid digital signature from Rainberry Inc, 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 utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe is 2c39da85232292347d60c0a0ac3ee372e5c6f1b47e25a2ca740a8339e6099115, and its MD5 is 3afce6ffdddc0661da0acdae24de06d0. 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 utorrent_installer 3.6.0.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 7, 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.
