The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

This is the WPS Office online setup program, validly signed by WPS SOFTWARE PTE. Only 1 of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, ESET, with a potentially unwanted application label rather than malware. Sandbox runs showed it downloading and installing the office suite, with no malicious hosts or dropped files.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The ESET detection labels the installer a potentially unwanted application, which may reflect bundled offers or default-setting changes during install, such as setting itself as the default PDF and document opener.
  • The publisher has little history in our records and a prior file from the same signer received a cautious rating.

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

Is konlinesetup_xa.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in konlinesetup_xa.exe. 1 of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flags it; after weighing the other evidence we treat that alert as false alarms. It has a valid digital signature from WPS SOFTWARE PTE. LTD.. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is konlinesetup_xa.exe?
konlinesetup_xa.exe is a Windows program, about 5.5 MB. Its version information says it is “WPS Office Setup” (WPS Office). The digital signature from WPS SOFTWARE PTE. LTD. checks out. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 21, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected konlinesetup_xa.exe?
1 of the 60 antivirus engines that checked it flags konlinesetup_xa.exe (ESET). We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
Is konlinesetup_xa.exe digitally signed?
Yes. konlinesetup_xa.exe has a valid digital signature from WPS SOFTWARE PTE. LTD., which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
What is the SHA-256 hash of konlinesetup_xa.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of konlinesetup_xa.exe is bd38e231d9f4f8334ab051a4654c570e44a56f543642882bb53a7577f8678d3b, and its MD5 is f70d1bddda7d63f2a7b3862fbe415224. 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 konlinesetup_xa.exe?
We found nothing harmful in konlinesetup_xa.exe, and its digital signature checks out. 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 konlinesetup_xa.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 24, 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.
