The reasoning behind this verdict

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

82%Confidence
High
Analyst conclusion

No antivirus engine flagged the file. The sample has been circulating since 2014 with modest distribution and shows no packing or external-intel hits.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • Unsigned executable with no signer history leaves open the possibility of an unknown or repackaged binary.
  • contactedHosts=null means no host-reputation cross-check was completed; absence of data is neutral, not confirmation of clean network activity.

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

Recommended action

The file can be considered safe for normal use; continue running current security software.

What to do now

This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.

  1. Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.

  2. A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.

  3. Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.

Frequently asked

Safety FAQ

Is stvoy.exe safe?
stvoy.exe appears safe. 0 of 79 antivirus engines flagged it. Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is stvoy.exe?
stvoy.exe is a Windows executable program, about 704 KB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected stvoy.exe?
None — 0 of 79 antivirus engines flagged stvoy.exe. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of stvoy.exe?
The SHA-256 hash of stvoy.exe is 31bc2501b77b597b85524bd47c3d40b21aec5ca00105250aa802aa5604173299, and its MD5 is efe695a9eaa707943f68e2c9588e4a33. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to run stvoy.exe?
Based on the recorded evidence, stvoy.exe has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of stvoy.exe?
This report reflects the scan run on August 2, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of stvoy.exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
