Is UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

A verified ADLICE signature and sparse generic detections are offset by observed T1055 and LSASS-targeting activity whose intent remains unresolved.

Only 3 of 75 engines flagged this signed installer, and no malware family consensus formed. However, one completed sandbox recorded possible process injection and LSASS-targeting activity, while three direct IP contacts could not be reputation-checked completely, so execution should be deferred pending publisher verification.

Do not install it until verified

Verify the installer hash and ADLICE signature through the publisher's official channel before use. Keep endpoint protection enabled and avoid execution if provenance cannot be confirmed.

Recommended next actions

01

Before installing

Do not install it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.

02

If you already installed it

Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Download a fresh installer from the developer's official site or an official app store.

Analyst conclusion

Only 3 of 75 engines flagged this signed installer, and no malware family consensus formed. However, one completed sandbox recorded possible process injection and LSASS-targeting activity, while three direct IP contacts could not be reputation-checked completely, so execution should be deferred pending publisher verification.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • Only 3/75 engines detected the sample, 16 of 17 tier-1 engines did not flag it, and no tier-1 family consensus exists.
  • The executable has a verified ADLICE signature, brandMismatch is null, and peAnalysis.likelyPacked=false.
  • behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false, and droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false after five children were inspected.
  • The similarHashes results share only imphash with signerMatchesSubject=false, so installer-framework reuse may explain those matches.

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

Recommended action

Verify the installer hash and ADLICE signature through the publisher's official channel before use. Keep endpoint protection enabled and avoid execution if provenance cannot be confirmed.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.

  • Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.

  • Moderate concern: Removed execution artefacts or logs, which can conceal activity.

  • Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.

  • Note: Reads your Windows user-account details.

  • Note: Collects details about your system.

  • Note: Loads extra code modules while running.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

What to do now

We couldn't fully clear this file. Treat it with caution.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Don't install it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

    Check where you got it — an unexpected attachment or a random download link is a red flag.

  3. Recovery step 03

    If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this file and use a fresh copy from a trusted source. Download a fresh installer from the developer's official site or an official app store.

  4. Recovery step 04

    If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.

8 evidence-based answers
Is UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe safe, or is it malware?
Evidence-based answer
UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 3 of 75 antivirus engines flag it; that detection signal contributes to the cautious verdict. Don't install it unless you fully trust where it came from. Download a fresh installer from the developer's official site or an official app store.
What is UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe?
Evidence-based answer
UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe is a software installer, about 52.3 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
How many antivirus engines detected UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe?
Evidence-based answer
3 of 75 antivirus engines flagged UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe, 3 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence.
I already downloaded and installed UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe — what should I do?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe?
Evidence-based answer
To remove UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
Is UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe carries a valid digital signature from ADLICE, which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
What is the SHA-256 hash of UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe is 80cfb967c8a84068a39f414162b2e0a6fb19889ceabe58c2a1359f8104a2395f, and its MD5 is ef9a4c631ef824c2ab00612b270f8bea. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
How up to date is this analysis of UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 14, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of UCheck_setup_win10 (1).exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
