Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is this file safe?
We found nothing harmful in this file. None of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust the person or website you got it from.
What is this file?
This file is about 22.6 MB. Its original file name is hidden on this page for privacy, so we identify it by its SHA-256 fingerprint. VirusTotal first saw it on Feb 22, 2025.
How many antivirus engines detected this file?
None of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flag this file. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of this file?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this file is 51d8f00bc19df42a36bcb14b551bc0dc646c913c9be4c046635757099b9b99a1, and its MD5 is e830f06edc3d73fc4a544d9ed27b7d31. 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.
Is it safe to open or extract this file?
We found nothing harmful in this file. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of this file?
This report reflects the scan on Aug 31, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.

This report and its SHA-256 fingerprint are public, so the next person who checks the same file gets an instant answer; documents and images are listed by type instead of their file name. A file we had not seen before is uploaded to VirusTotal, whose security partners and subscribers can download it; MalwareTips deletes its own copy after the scan. If you ran this file and are worried, scan your device with up-to-date security software.
