Safe

gbak.exe appears safe. 75 of 75 antivirus engines report it clean. As a habit, only run files you downloaded from the official source, since attackers sometimes distribute trojanised copies of legitimate software under the same name.

gbak.exe is a Windows executable program, about 1 MB. Our analysis found no threat indicators for it. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).

None — all 75 antivirus engines we queried report gbak.exe as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.

The SHA-256 hash of gbak.exe is ca86d68d6db51e992d64f2d61df7eac7bf58388db4872cc282d247a60942baa8, and its MD5 is e4762f74176e7a639cdca2ca9d318788. 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.

Based on this scan, yes — gbak.exe shows no threat indicators. 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 while we report it clean, that is most often a false positive, but verify the source before overriding your antivirus.

This report reflects the scan run on July 17, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of gbak.exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa).
