Verdict Malicious

Analyzed , 6 days ago

Is Capri-Setup.exe safe? No, we rate this exact file malicious.

A .NET executable with no digital signature draws 33 of 75 engine detections, ten of them major, plus ten malware-specific community rules naming a MSIL trojan family.

Strong evidence · Two or more major antivirus engines agree.

Don't install this file

Do not run this installer and remove it from your system. If it has already been executed, run a full scan with protection kept enabled and check for anything it installed or set to start automatically.

What to do now4 steps

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

If you haven't installed it

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

If you already installed 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.

Why we think so

6 points against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

More than thirty engines flag this unsigned .NET program, ten of them major antivirus engines whose labels point at an MSIL trojan family, and ten malware-specific community rules match the same bytes. Four sandbox runs ended with a combined clean result and no injected process was recorded, but that is not enough to outweigh that detection spread.

Full reasoning

The antivirus evidence is heavy and broad: 33 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it call this file malicious, including ten major antivirus engines such as Kaspersky, TrendMicro-HouseCall, Microsoft, Sophos and Symantec, and the flagged engines remain numerous after collapsing vendors that share scan engines. Several of those labels name the same MSIL trojan family, and ten malware-specific community rules — including a stealer rule and a .NET loader pattern — match the file as well. Nothing offsets that: the program carries no digital signature, so there is no publisher identity or clean publisher history to weigh against the detections. The honest counter-signal is runtime: the combined result of the sandbox runs was clean, with no recorded injected process, no dropped files and no known-bad network contacts, and the file has been submitted by more than 300 distinct sources. A program that checks whether it is being analysed and stays quiet — the behaviour records include debugger and virtual-machine checks plus obfuscation — would look exactly like that, so a quiet run does not cancel ten major detections and a set of malware-family rules. Prior verdicts on files sharing this file's import table come from unrelated publishers and carry no weight here.

Detailed assessment

What We Detected

This is a .NET Windows executable that describes itself as an installer and carries no digital signature, so nothing verifies who built it. Of the 75 engines in our network, 65 returned a result and 33 called the file malicious, ten of them from major antivirus engines: Kaspersky labels it a rule-based MSIL trojan of the Startun family, TrendMicro-HouseCall names the same family, and Microsoft, Sophos, Symantec, Avira, Emsisoft, GData, Ikarus and TrellixENS flag it with generic trojan, high-confidence machine-learning and Artemis labels. Ten malware-specific community detection rules also matched, including a stealer rule, a .NET loader that unpacks an assembly from image pixel data, and messaging-bot framework markers.

Threat Behavior

Observation from the test run was inconclusive rather than reassuring. The combined sandbox verdict was clean, no process was recorded as injected into, no files were dropped and our host reputation check, which covered both addresses the sample resolved, found nothing malicious in our cache — those two addresses are analysis-environment data rather than the program's own traffic. The recorded techniques include checks for debuggers and virtual machines, obfuscation, .NET reflection loading and installer-style command-line switches. A sample that fingerprints its environment can behave very differently under analysis than on a real desktop, so a quiet run alongside ten major detections and a stack of malware-family rules is a reason for caution, not clearance. Our own static inspection of the file contents was not available for this submission.

What To Do Now

Do not run this installer, and delete it if you downloaded it recently. If it has already been launched, run a full scan with your current antivirus protection and review what was installed or started afterwards. Anyone who needs the software it claims to provide should get it from the publisher's own official source instead.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Four sandbox runs produced a combined clean result with no observed injection target and no dropped files, which is what a harmless installer can also look like.
  • 322 distinct sources submitted this file and it carries an installer name, so wide distribution could argue for an ordinary packaged installer rather than targeted malware.
  • The engine labels are mostly generic or rule-based rather than a single consistent family, and no major consensus on one family was reached.

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

Points in its favour
  • The combined result of four sandbox runs was clean, with no recorded injected target process and no dropped files.
  • Our reputation check of the two addresses the sample resolved found nothing malicious or suspicious.
  • The file has been submitted by 322 distinct sources, which is consistent with a widely distributed package rather than a targeted dropper.
  • No major consensus on a single family was reached, and no MalwareBazaar listing exists for this hash.
Points against
  • 33 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including ten major antivirus engines such as Kaspersky, TrendMicro-HouseCall, Microsoft, Sophos and Symantec.
  • Several detections name the same MSIL trojan family (Startun), and Microsoft's label falls in a widely used generic trojan grouping.
  • Ten malware-specific community detection rules match the file, among them a stealer rule and a .NET assembly loader pattern.
  • The executable is unsigned, so there is no verified publisher and no publisher history to vouch for it.
  • The file reports checks for debuggers and virtual machines and is tagged as obfuscated, which can suppress activity during automated analysis.
  • Although it looks like an installer, four sandbox runs left no installed program, no dropped files and no persistence behind.

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: Unpacked hidden content while it ran.

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

  • Moderate concern: Hid files or windows on the test computer.

  • Note: Read the user name of the test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running 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 setting up auto-start; no auto-start entry was recorded.

  • 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 8 questions people ask most about this file.

Is Capri-Setup.exe malware?
Yes. This copy of Capri-Setup.exe (SHA-256 56294fde…07df) is malicious. Other files with the same name can be different, so check the hash. Don't install it. Delete it, then empty the Recycle Bin. 33 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flag it, some as Startun. Antivirus engines classify it as a trojan: malware disguised as something harmless so that you run it. If you've already installed it, see the steps below.
What is Capri-Setup.exe?
Capri-Setup.exe is a software installer, about 15.5 MB. Its version information says it is “Capri”. Version information is written by whoever built the file, so it is a claim, not proof of who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 30, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected Capri-Setup.exe?
33 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flag Capri-Setup.exe, including Microsoft and Kaspersky. 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 installed Capri-Setup.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 Capri-Setup.exe?
To remove Capri-Setup.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 Capri-Setup.exe?
Antivirus engines classify Capri-Setup.exe as a trojan: malware disguised as something harmless so that you run it. Engines attribute it to the Startun family.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Capri-Setup.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Capri-Setup.exe is 56294fdedc7f75e988c632f5572f7057b8bd06ffa2bb1fafe143c244ca7507df, and its MD5 is f21c0076c964aea88e01161cbf5cf50f. 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 Capri-Setup.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Nov 4, 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.
