6 evidence-based answers
Is SMWoS.ico safe?
Evidence-based answer
SMWoS.ico appears safe. 0 of 73 antivirus engines flagged it. Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
What is SMWoS.ico?
Evidence-based answer
SMWoS.ico is a file, about 224 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 SMWoS.ico?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 73 antivirus engines flagged SMWoS.ico. 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 SMWoS.ico?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of SMWoS.ico is 349d0f95c490eaa3d4e27e7c067f68eea0086a48174f2111083717a185156dd5, and its MD5 is 6bb7eb93027a930394ab65e0c6a58348. 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 open SMWoS.ico?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, SMWoS.ico 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 SMWoS.ico?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on August 8, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of SMWoS.ico 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.
