The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

This file matches the Opera GX browser installer pattern and shows no malicious indicators. No sandbox execution data, files it created, or malicious host contact were observed. The high PE entropy is consistent with legitimate compiled code, not packing.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • File is unsigned and rare and newly seen — could theoretically be a trojanized installer if the Opera GX distribution channel was compromised, but no evidence of compromise in our data and major antivirus engines show no detection.
  • High PE entropy (7.999939) could indicate packing or obfuscation, but the absence of packed-level code entropy and the absence of packing indicators suggest this is normal for legitimate compiled software; section-level entropy analysis supports benign structure.
  • No sandbox data available — we cannot confirm behaviour in the test run, but absence of malicious contacted hosts and files it created in our cache suggests no known a control server or payload delivery.

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 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is OperaGXSetup (1).exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in OperaGXSetup (1).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 OperaGXSetup (1).exe?
OperaGXSetup (1).exe is a Windows program, about 4.1 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jun 11, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected OperaGXSetup (1).exe?
None of the 70 antivirus engines that checked it flag OperaGXSetup (1).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.
What is the SHA-256 hash of OperaGXSetup (1).exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of OperaGXSetup (1).exe is f20c5bb658df9daa39eb094e131db6f7ec4d6a479843d7a81879c781a810ca44, and its MD5 is c4d3700661dfbd812fcffa7ad59c9c81. 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 OperaGXSetup (1).exe?
We found nothing harmful in OperaGXSetup (1).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 OperaGXSetup (1).exe?
This report reflects the scan on Jun 11, 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.
