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

Reasoning

The sample exhibits a clean profile across all major detection vectors. Tier-1 engines (Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Avast, AVG, Avira, DrWeb, Emsisoft, F-Secure, GData, Ikarus) all report undetected or silent, with zero malicious consensus. The filename 'OperaGXSetup (1).exe' aligns with Opera GX's legitimate installer naming convention, and the installer hint in filename analysis supports this classification. Although unsigned and newly submitted (rare_new), this is typical for fresh legitimate software that has not yet accumulated reputation data. PE analysis shows normal entropy distribution across sections without indicators of packing or obfuscation. No external intelligence sources (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify) flagged the sample, and no malicious runtime behaviour was recorded.

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.

  1. tier1Malicious=0; 16 tier-1 engines (Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Avast, AVG, Avira, DrWeb, Emsisoft, F-Secure, GData, Ikarus) all undetected or silent

  2. Unsigned but filename 'OperaGXSetup (1).exe' matches legitimate Opera GX browser installer; hasInstallerHint=true

  3. rare_new classification (1 submission, 0 days old) is expected for fresh legitimate software; no reputation yet but no malicious signals

  4. PE entropy 7.999939 with highEntropyCode=false and likelyPacked=false; section entropy normal (.text=6.61, .rdata=4.61) — consistent with legitimate compiled code

  5. No sandbox verdicts, no dropped children, no malicious host contact, no external intel hits (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify all negative)

Points in its favour
  • 16 tier-1 antivirus engines (Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Avast, AVG, Avira, DrWeb, Emsisoft, F-Secure, GData, Ikarus) all undetected
  • Filename matches legitimate Opera GX installer pattern
  • PE entropy and section analysis consistent with legitimate compiled code
  • No malicious sandbox verdicts, dropped children, or host contact
  • No external intelligence hits (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify negative)
What to do

This file is consistent with a legitimate Opera GX browser installer. If obtained from Opera's official website or a trusted distribution channel, it is safe to install. Verify the source if downloaded from an untrusted location.

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.
