The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 16 major antivirus engines report it clean, and our analysis found a prior submission of the same file (matching import-table fingerprint) already rated safe.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • File is rare and newly seen (1 submission, 0 days old) — but the import-table fingerprint matches a prior safe verdict on the same filename, suggesting this is a routine re-submission of the legitimate Opera GX installer rather than a novel threat.
  • File it created (41f6858a70...) is unanalyzed (verdict=null) — but no dropped file is known to be malicious and no malicious sandbox verdicts indicate the child is benign or not yet scanned; no evidence of malicious payload.

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 OperaGXSetup.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in OperaGXSetup.exe. None of the 70 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 OperaGXSetup.exe?
OperaGXSetup.exe is a Windows program, about 4.1 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jun 11, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected OperaGXSetup.exe?
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag OperaGXSetup.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 OperaGXSetup.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of OperaGXSetup.exe is a31da45190f84af871648f71500133439e9bfb122dac1ca50a43893129d25703, and its MD5 is dc69e9ab5000e2866e5a2446f4fd0850. 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 OperaGXSetup.exe?
We found nothing harmful in OperaGXSetup.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 OperaGXSetup.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Jun 11, 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.
