The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Only 2 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, ClamAV and Jiangmin, and both used generic labels. None of the 18 major antivirus engines detected it. The file carries a valid signature from QIHU 360 SOFTWARE CO. LIMITED and has been widely seen since 2017. Its sandbox runs showed no high-risk behaviour.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The signer has no history in our records and is not on our curated publisher list, so the signature confirms who built the file but is not backed by a track record with us.
  • Qihoo 360 software is sometimes considered unwanted by users who did not choose to install it, although no engine labelled this file as adware or unwanted software.

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 7 questions people ask most about this file.

Is MedalWall.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in MedalWall.exe. 2 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag it; after weighing the other evidence we treat those alerts as false alarms. It has a valid digital signature from QIHU 360 SOFTWARE CO. LIMITED. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is MedalWall.exe?
MedalWall.exe is a Windows program, about 1.4 MB. Its version information says it is “360 Medal Wall”. The digital signature from QIHU 360 SOFTWARE CO. LIMITED checks out. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 25, 2017.
How many antivirus engines detected MedalWall.exe?
2 of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag MedalWall.exe, including ClamAV and Jiangmin. We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
Is MedalWall.exe digitally signed?
Yes. MedalWall.exe has a valid digital signature from QIHU 360 SOFTWARE CO. LIMITED, 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 MedalWall.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of MedalWall.exe is c7ef88c39b752e1113a3011d9ad58648add4801313b5a1f49fe0d4dccdaa0fae, and its MD5 is 6e10b7d97ce3a8da723c80b5c187077b. 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 MedalWall.exe?
We found nothing harmful in MedalWall.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 MedalWall.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 21, 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.
