Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.

Run it as usual if it came from the official source

This appears to be a safe portable application, likely a web-scripting tool using Edge WebView2. Run in a sandbox if wary of the debug detection tag.

We found nothing harmful in this file.

  1. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

No detections from the antivirus engines despite high coverage. The file runs a legitimate Microsoft Edge WebView2 process and creates app-specific directories under flick.winscript.dev. Tags like detect-debug are noted but outweighed by unanimous clean verdicts.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • tags['detect-debug-environment'] + behaviour.offensiveTechniques T1562.001 (Impair Defenses) could indicate anti-analysis, though not corroborated by engines or sandbox verdicts.
  • unsigned with no signerStats — lacks publisher reputation, relying solely on clean scans and behaviour.

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

Is winscript-portable.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in winscript-portable.exe. None of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is winscript-portable.exe?
winscript-portable.exe is a Windows program, about 10.8 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Apr 19, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected winscript-portable.exe?
None of the 72 antivirus engines that checked it flag winscript-portable.exe. 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 winscript-portable.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of winscript-portable.exe is 6f8d7de09986672827739e88e7bd62149560f87114177c3d7b9ead05a0df392f, and its MD5 is 563a1e38b112f0c84595040ac38fe829. 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 winscript-portable.exe?
We found nothing harmful in winscript-portable.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 winscript-portable.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Apr 27, 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.
