Why we think so
2 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this installer, and it has a valid signature from Microsoft Corporation, a publisher whose 34 previous samples in our records were all clean. It is new and rare, but nothing points to malicious behaviour.
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, and all 18 major antivirus engines reported it clean. Its signature is valid and names Microsoft Corporation, a trusted publisher with 34 of 34 prior samples clean. Our static analysis fired no rules and found no decisive findings. No sandbox run completed, so behaviour in the test run is unobserved, and the file is new with a single submitter. Matches to similar files rest only on a shared build framework, so we gave them little weight. The signed-installer evidence outweighs the lack of history.
What We Detected
No engine out of 75 flagged this signed Windows installer. Its signature is valid and names Microsoft Corporation.
Threat Behavior

What To Do Now
Download installers only from official sources and keep your security software enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The file is and rare (1 submitter, first seen on Oct 19, 2026), so there is no prevalence history behind it.
- No sandbox run completed and no contacted-host reputation check is available, so behaviour in the test run is unobserved.
- The five matches on the import table alone to similar files are mixed (3 safe, 2 suspicious), but they are framework collisions with different publishers and carry little weight.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

- 34 of 34 earlier samples from this signer were clean in our records.
- 0 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.

- The file is new and rare, with one submitter so far.
