Section entropy & packers
No high-entropy executable section or known packer signature was detected. Data and resource sections can still have high entropy without indicating packed code.
How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

Safety FAQ
- ChromeSetup.exe appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. It carries a verified digital signature from Google LLC. As a habit, only run files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.
- ChromeSetup.exe is a Windows executable program (application/x-msdownload), about 11.2 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. It carries a verified digital signature from Google LLC. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
- None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged ChromeSetup.exe. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
- Yes — ChromeSetup.exe carries a valid digital signature from Google LLC, which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
- The SHA-256 hash of ChromeSetup.exe is 342f04ddbfda14e1047d64ba0502a13d69007085365fd33898c711916f78e723, and its MD5 is b6fccee09aed66d2a820dfced845e95c. 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.
- Based on the recorded evidence, ChromeSetup.exe has a low observed risk and is properly signed. 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.
- This report reflects the scan run on June 8, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of ChromeSetup.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.
