Is allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe safe?

Verdict
Safe

No antivirus engine detected this established, Botkind-signed Allway Sync installer, while the behavioral warnings remain uncorroborated by sandbox, child-file, or network reputation findings.

All 74 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the executable carries a verified Botkind signature. One sandbox produced aggressive behavioral mappings involving process injection and credential access, but its overall result, inspected child files, and fully covered domain-reputation check did not corroborate malware activity.

Run with normal care

Obtain the installer from the official vendor channel and verify that Windows still reports a valid Botkind signature before use. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled.

Analyst conclusion

All 74 antivirus engines returned no detection, including 17 tier-1 engines, and the executable carries a verified Botkind signature. One sandbox produced aggressive behavioral mappings involving process injection and credential access, but its overall result, inspected child files, and fully covered domain-reputation check did not corroborate malware activity.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • triggeredHeuristics includes MalwareTips.Synth.ProcessInjection tied to T1055 and a credential-access warning involving lsass.exe; these are significant behavioral counter-signals despite lacking independent corroboration.
  • behaviour.offensiveCount=8 includes T1562.001, T1485, and T1547.001, although the single completed sandbox assigned no malicious verdict.
  • signing.signerStats.found=false, so the verified 'Botkind' signature has no established internal signer history.
  • similarHashes shows one malicious and two suspicious prior verdicts for imphash 5a594319a0d69dbc452e748bcf05892e, but every match has signerMatchesSubject=false.

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

Obtain the installer from the official vendor channel and verify that Windows still reports a valid Botkind signature before use. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled.

7 evidence-based answers
Is allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe safe?
Evidence-based answer
allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe appears safe. 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged it. It carries a verified digital signature from Botkind. Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe?
Evidence-based answer
allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe is a Windows executable program, about 11.9 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. It carries a verified digital signature from Botkind. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
Is allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe carries a valid digital signature from Botkind, 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.
What is the SHA-256 hash of allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe is 41581a1f85f246434fc922fa0f2f13dec06a81454ea2d1c9a95ff0d46589d9aa, and its MD5 is b45fc05df5e6659237b1e26d46d7f636. 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 allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.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.
How up to date is this analysis of allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on October 4, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of allwaysync-x64-21-1-5.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.
