The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this program, including 12 major antivirus engines that returned clean results. The combined sandbox verdict was clean. The program only wrote its own log file and graphics cache, and contacted no hosts. The file is unsigned, so its origin cannot be confirmed.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The file is unsigned, so nothing confirms who built it.
  • Several major antivirus engines, including Kaspersky and BitDefender, timed out and returned no result.
  • No complete host-reputation result is available, although the sandbox recorded no network contacts by the sample.

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 ruffle.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in ruffle.exe. None of the 61 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 ruffle.exe?
ruffle.exe is a Windows program, about 27.0 MB. Its version information says it is “Adobe Flash Player emulator” (Ruffle). 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 7, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected ruffle.exe?
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag ruffle.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 ruffle.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of ruffle.exe is 7b821bac7d8accd07407902eac9544b8d906df4d6c2a099eb091f3e04512b199, and its MD5 is aedbabfcb7a98d8132c0f377aa98e786. 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 ruffle.exe?
We found nothing harmful in ruffle.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 ruffle.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 26, 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.
