The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The antivirus engines shows just 3 less reliable detections out of 72, with zero major flags and clean sandbox results. The file contacts known CDN IPs directly, which triggered a rule but aligns with legitimate apps. No malicious behaviour or children detected.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Direct IP contacts (behaviour.contactedIps) without DNS could indicate a control server evasion despite CDN reputation.
  • Unsigned rare but long known file (prevalence.classification, signing.signed=false) with reputation=0 may be custom or obscure malware evading detection.
  • Low sample count (it was submitted 3 times) limits confidence in benign status.

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

Questions & answers

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

Is Player (1).exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in Player (1).exe. 3 of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flag it; after weighing the other evidence we treat those alerts as false alarms. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is Player (1).exe?
Player (1).exe is a Windows program, about 157.2 kB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on May 21, 2025.
How many antivirus engines detected Player (1).exe?
3 of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flag Player (1).exe, including APEX and Bkav. We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Player (1).exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Player (1).exe is 62917efbf880f3b23a563ee2445fc6334b73265f00d0e651d6b239dd71a5f9d7, and its MD5 is 3c81c3788e4b403b706ddb0a4dfbde95. 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 run Player (1).exe?
We found nothing harmful in Player (1).exe. 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 Player (1).exe?
This report reflects the scan on May 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.
