Outbyte setup.exe is signed but flagged by one antivirus engine (DrWeb) as a potentially unwanted program; most scanners see it clean.
ebace96b7841d34fdf…d33541678aThe reasoning behind this verdict
The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.
The file is a 21MB Win32 executable named Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe, signed by Outbyte Computing Pty Ltd on April 14, 2026, with neutral reputation and first seen just 5 days ago. Out of 76 engines, only DrWeb (a tier-1 scanner) calls it malicious as Program.Unwanted.5457, a potentially unwanted application like adware or a tool bundler, while 71 others report it undetected and 16 tier-1 engines clean. No external threat intel hits confirm malware. This single detection pattern often indicates a false positive on legitimate software installers. We rate it suspicious due to the one flag but lean toward safe given the signing and broad clean consensus.
- Valid Authenticode signature from Outbyte Computing Pty Ltd.
- 75/76 engines undetected, including 16 tier-1 cleaners like Avast, AVG, BitDefender.
- No hits in MalwareBazaar, YARAify, or CIRCL threat intel.
- No low-trust engines flagging malicious.
- DrWeb (tier-1) detects Program.Unwanted.5457, indicating potential adware or bundler.
- File is new (5 days old) with neutral reputation score of 0.
- Name suggests PC optimization software, which often triggers PUA flags.
If you didn't download this Outbyte installer yourself, delete it immediately. Otherwise, scan with your main antivirus and proceed only if trusted.
What to do now

Safety FAQ
Common questions about Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe, answered from the scan data above.
- Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 1 of 76 antivirus engines flag it (family: Program.Unwanted.5457), 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.
- Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe is a Windows executable program, about 20.6 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.
- 1 of 76 antivirus engines flagged Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe, 1 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 Outbyte-camomile-setup.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 Outbyte-camomile-setup.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.
- Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe is classified as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUA) — not always destructive, but it bundles ads, trackers, or unwanted changes you didn't ask for. Engines attribute it to the Program.Unwanted.5457 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.
- Yes — Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe carries a valid digital signature from Outbyte Computing Pty Ltd, which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
- The SHA-256 hash of Outbyte-camomile-setup.exe is ebace96b7841d34fdfe87d6573215da04f40d1cd3920b64c8db89ed33541678a, and its MD5 is e63a6175da32ce0a9d361b83cdbdb3d5. 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 April 20, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Outbyte-camomile-setup.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.
