The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The antivirus engines shows zero detections from 71 engines, including all major antivirus engines. The file matches the popular qBittorrent torrent client installer with thousands of prior submissions and positive community notes.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=2 ('win_rat_generic', 'Sus_Obf_Enc_Spoof_Hide_PE' notes potential FP) — generic rules without engine consensus.
  • triggeredHeuristics 'one of our behaviour rules' fired on 15 IPs (e.g. 20.75.60.91), but these match CDN ranges for benign software updates.
  • tags include 'overlay' and peAnalysis.overallEntropy=7.999999 — can trigger obfuscation rules but common in installers.

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