Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 1 month ago

Is ScreenWings.exe safe? Treat it as suspicious.

ScreenWings.exe is signed by its developer and widely seen, but four generic detections tied to Themida packing and a public malware-database listing leave it borderline.

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? 4 antivirus engines flag it, but no major engine agrees and it is listed in MalwareBazaar, a public database that accepts automated uploads.

Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.

Don't run it until you know where it came from

If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already ran it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Not sure what to do?

Ask the MalwareTips community before you run it. If you already ran it, follow the cleanup guide.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Only 4 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, all with generic or packer-based labels, and none of the major antivirus engines did. It carries a valid signature from Hendrik Schiffer and has been submitted by hundreds of sources since 2020. A listing in a public malware-sharing database with no named family keeps it from a clean result.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • All 17 major antivirus engines reported nothing, the file is valid-signed by the named developer, and it has circulated widely since 2020, which fits a Themida-protected privacy utility drawing packer-based false positives.
  • The only similar past verdict is a different file sharing a protector import table, not a related sample.

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

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

  • Note: Checked which security software was installed on the test computer.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 8 questions people ask most about this file.

Is ScreenWings.exe safe, or is it malware?
ScreenWings.exe is rated Suspicious: some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. 4 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.
What is ScreenWings.exe?
ScreenWings.exe is a Windows program, about 4.2 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Apr 15, 2020.
How many antivirus engines detected ScreenWings.exe?
4 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flag ScreenWings.exe, including tehtris and Zillya. We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
I already downloaded and ran ScreenWings.exe — what should I do?
No infection is confirmed: the rating is a caution, not a malware finding. 1) Check where it came from. If you can't confirm the source, delete it. 2) Run a full scan with your security software. 3) If the scan finds something, follow its removal steps and change passwords you typed on the device since then.
Is ScreenWings.exe digitally signed?
Yes. ScreenWings.exe has a valid digital signature from Hendrik Schiffer, which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
Has ScreenWings.exe been seen before?
Yes. This exact file is listed in MalwareBazaar, a public malware database, first listed on Jul 22, 2023. MalwareBazaar accepts uploads from anyone, including automated ones, so the listing supports the other evidence rather than proving malice on its own.
What is the SHA-256 hash of ScreenWings.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of ScreenWings.exe is 481ecd41bef2a33076729680747eb92e4e2964bed89c58825d80f602de19f214, and its MD5 is 97d3a663cc0fed2b60274a302657ccf7. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
How up to date is this analysis of ScreenWings.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 10, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
