The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag this installer, and the sandbox runs recorded no injection into other processes, no malicious verdict and no network contacts. It carries a signature that fails chain verification, so its publisher cannot be confirmed. Download it only from the developer's official site.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The embedded signature fails chain verification, so the author of this installer cannot be confirmed.
  • The file has a modest submitter base (6 sources), and the contacted-host reputation check was not completed.

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 PolarInstaller.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in PolarInstaller.exe. None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Run it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is PolarInstaller.exe?
PolarInstaller.exe is a Windows program, about 2.9 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jun 8, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected PolarInstaller.exe?
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag PolarInstaller.exe. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
Is PolarInstaller.exe digitally signed?
No. PolarInstaller.exe is not digitally signed. Many legitimate files aren't either, but it means nothing proves who published it.
What is the SHA-256 hash of PolarInstaller.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of PolarInstaller.exe is de6a60745bc1023d157bd72c0d80142a74826f7ad9c1f7d1cc1b0571d2a85dac, and its MD5 is 7b4280b8c7b875e4574bcfca797d0741. 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 PolarInstaller.exe?
We found nothing harmful in PolarInstaller.exe. 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 PolarInstaller.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Jun 9, 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.
