The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 45 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this installer, and it carries a valid signature from ELEFANT AI INC. In the sandbox it installed the Player2 app into the user profile, added a Start Menu shortcut and fetched Microsoft's WebView2 runtime. It showed no high-risk techniques.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The publisher has almost no history in our records and the file was seen from a single submitter, so a valid signature alone does not establish its reputation.
  • Several major engines timed out or failed on this large file, so fewer major antivirus engines returned a result than usual.

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 7 questions people ask most about this file.

Is player2.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in player2.exe. None of the 45 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. It has a valid digital signature from ELEFANT AI INC.. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is player2.exe?
player2.exe is a Windows program, about 28.5 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Aug 7, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected player2.exe?
None of the 45 antivirus engines that checked it flag player2.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.
Is player2.exe digitally signed?
Yes. player2.exe has a valid digital signature from ELEFANT AI INC., 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 player2.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of player2.exe is 72c6214c6cb045738f0ae313573dac2ac7f1c60fdc1d69dacb9cbb16f1e4e5e8, and its MD5 is 5a56fe3a321fd989ff31757e3e349e27. 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 player2.exe?
We found nothing harmful in player2.exe, and its digital signature checks out. 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 player2.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 8, 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.
