The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

High
Reasoning

The combination of tier-1 detections, an offensive MITRE technique, and lack of any signing history outweighs the clean reports from other tier-1 engines. The file is relatively new with medium prevalence and no prior similar-hash matches, leaving insufficient ground to call it clean. The Nuitka label appears tied to the compiler rather than a specific malware family, but the injection behaviour remains a concrete risk indicator.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

What to do

Treat as suspicious pending further sandbox or dynamic analysis; avoid execution until additional clean signals appear.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about Trinity.exe, answered from the scan data above.

  • Trinity.exe is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 12 of 74 antivirus engines flag it (family: nuitka), which isn't a strong consensus but is enough to be cautious. Don't run it unless you fully trust where it came from, and prefer downloading the software fresh from its official site.
  • Trinity.exe is a Windows executable program, about 26.3 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
  • 12 of 74 antivirus engines flagged Trinity.exe, 12 of them as outright malicious. A small number of detections can include false positives, so we weigh which engines flagged it and what else the file does, not just the raw count.
  • Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
  • To remove Trinity.exe: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete the original Trinity.exe file and empty the Recycle Bin/Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
  • Trinity.exe is classified as a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. Engines attribute it to the nuitka family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
  • The SHA-256 hash of Trinity.exe is d741e3dbd8e402529af44d3ca1748a21127ae9f8c0e51e9cdf2ba6dc407c345b, and its MD5 is f1fef6a2db891093237d3e0a47b1f07e. 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.
  • This report reflects the scan run on July 11, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Trinity.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.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
