The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Trapmine alone flagged the executable with a generic machine-learning label; no higher-confidence engine agreed, and 74 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it did not flag it. Its broad distribution and absence of corroborated high-risk behavior make that isolated detection likely to be a false positive, although the file lacks a verified signature.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • The executable is unsigned, so there is no verified publisher identity supporting it.
  • Trapmine labels the file with a generic high machine-learning score, although no higher-confidence engine agrees.
  • Our static analysis was unavailable because the file bytes were not uploaded, so its internal code was not inspected.
  • Prior files with the same import table received mixed decisions, but those matches did not share a verified signer.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

How many antivirus engines detected LuaTools-win-Setup.exe?
1 of the 69 antivirus engines that checked it flags LuaTools-win-Setup.exe (Trapmine). We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.

How up to date is this analysis of LuaTools-win-Setup.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 22, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.

Other files people checked with the same name, and recent reports with the same rating. A matching name does not make two files the same: only the SHA-256 fingerprint identifies a file.

All file reports
This report and its SHA-256 fingerprint are public, so the next person who checks the same file gets an instant answer; documents and images are listed by type instead of their file name. A file we had not seen before is uploaded to VirusTotal, whose security partners and subscribers can download it; MalwareTips deletes its own copy after the scan. If you ran this file and are worried, scan your device with up-to-date security software.
