MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The two generic alerts appear much more likely to be false positives than evidence of malware. Higher-trust engines did not flag the executable, the combined sandbox verdict was clean, all observed destinations received complete reputation checks, and no malware-specific intelligence corroborated the alerts.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The executable is unsigned, so its publisher cannot be authenticated.
  • APEX and Trapmine independently flagged it with generic malicious or machine-learning labels.
  • One low-severity behaviour rule noted direct-IP traffic, although the inspected destinations had no malicious or suspicious reputation.

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 Fingerprint.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in Fingerprint.exe. 2 of the 57 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 Fingerprint.exe?
Fingerprint.exe is a Windows program, about 3.8 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jul 17, 2024.
How many antivirus engines detected Fingerprint.exe?
2 of the 57 antivirus engines that checked it flag Fingerprint.exe, including APEX and Trapmine. We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Fingerprint.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Fingerprint.exe is 8256c67b2a3812d1a32e9e158479c2702e444f88b9c5452cac26104fd73a33f9, and its MD5 is b8a8b5f01e23e559c3a0618457d7b917. 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 Fingerprint.exe?
We found nothing harmful in Fingerprint.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 Fingerprint.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Nov 6, 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.
