6 evidence-based answers
Is faangband.exe safe?
Evidence-based answer
faangband.exe appears safe. 0 of 73 antivirus engines flagged it. Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is faangband.exe?
Evidence-based answer
faangband.exe is a Windows executable program, about 2.1 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected faangband.exe?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 73 antivirus engines flagged faangband.exe. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of faangband.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of faangband.exe is bf44d81c557810933c50398904a16eb85b2b57787fcb9e257807cb35180c7f0d, and its MD5 is 99144c82497f0ddd610eaea84dc23afd. 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.
Is it safe to run faangband.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, faangband.exe has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of faangband.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on June 30, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of faangband.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.
