What to do now4 steps

This file is harmful. Don't run it, and remove it.

If you haven't run it

  1. Don't run this file. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin.

If you already ran it

  1. Disconnect the device from the internet, then run a full antivirus scan. Microsoft Defender Offline (Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options) also finds malware that hides while Windows runs.

  2. If you typed passwords on the device after running it, change them from another device you trust.

  3. If the scan keeps finding it, or the device still acts strangely, scan again with a second-opinion scanner from another company; if that doesn't fix it, back up your personal files and reinstall Windows.

If you already ran it, do these in order.

If you opened or installed it

Avoid banking and sign-ins on that device until it is clean. These free MalwareTips guides walk you through it.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The evidence strongly indicates an offensive or harmful executable: 40 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and Ikarus supplied the major label PUA.Hacktools.CMDSoftWorks. Eleven malware-specific YARA rules, three offensive MITRE mappings, and four malicious signer-matched historical files provide substantial independent corroboration despite one clean sandbox run.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • The completed sandbox run returned clean, although a single run may not exercise conditional or user-triggered functionality.
  • All three observed contacted hosts were inspected without a known-malicious or suspicious reputation match.
  • The executable has a verified CMD Softworks LLC signature, but that signer has 4/4 malicious historical samples in the available record.
  • The file is widely submitted and its code sections are not assessed as packed or unusually high-entropy.

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: Read the user name of the 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.

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 recording keystrokes; no keylogging was confirmed.

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

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.

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.

Threat context

How trojans work

A trojan pretends to be something useful or harmless so that you run it. Once open, it does its real job in the background, from stealing data to opening a back door or downloading more malware.

Bottom line:The disguise is the whole trick, so a trustworthy-looking name or icon means nothing.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 9 questions people ask most about this file.

Is SolaraV3.exe malware?
Yes. This copy of SolaraV3.exe (SHA-256 4f0effff…515d) is malicious. Other files with the same name can be different, so check the hash. Don't run it. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin. 40 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Antivirus engines classify it as a trojan: malware disguised as something harmless so that you run it. If you've already run it, see the steps below.
What is SolaraV3.exe?
SolaraV3.exe is a Windows program, about 19.7 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Sep 16, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected SolaraV3.exe?
40 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag SolaraV3.exe, including ESET and Bitdefender. We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count. The rating comes from all the evidence together, not from this count alone.
I already downloaded and ran SolaraV3.exe — what should I do?
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet. 2) Run a full scan with your antivirus and let it remove what it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from another device you trust, starting with email and banking, and turn on two-step verification. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch your accounts and tell your bank about payments you don't recognise. 5) If the scan keeps finding it, back up your personal files and reinstall Windows.
How do I remove SolaraV3.exe?
To remove SolaraV3.exe: 1) run a full scan with your antivirus and let it remove what it finds. 2) Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin. 3) Check Settings > Apps, your browser extensions, startup apps (Task Manager > Startup apps) and scheduled tasks for anything you don't recognise. 4) Restart and scan again. If it keeps coming back, scan from Safe Mode with Networking, or back up your files and reinstall Windows.
What kind of malware is SolaraV3.exe?
Antivirus engines classify SolaraV3.exe as a trojan: malware disguised as something harmless so that you run it.
Is SolaraV3.exe digitally signed?
Yes. SolaraV3.exe has a valid digital signature from CMD Softworks LLC, 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.
What is the SHA-256 hash of SolaraV3.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of SolaraV3.exe is 4f0effff09207036720527d8d17fc0c3c630729f2acb6d510fdbe213fc48515d, and its MD5 is 084ba607d5cf148e3d0a85a028bab4ba. 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 SolaraV3.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 9, 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.
