O&O ShutUp10 1.8.1421 safe and clean to install?

Hello,

Windows 10 Home 21H1 B19043.1055
O&O ShutUp10 1.8.142

Sha256: bcdc6b364da6986d50dd025aacc3c0c76ada16657b829406cee67b4e6f16b89a

I scan @VT OOSU10.exe and there is a lot of detection and rule set that does not look good for me
is the OOSU10.exe or the portable safe and clean to run?
Thanks
Camelia

Thank you @Paul Black

That other post is about a specific issue. Your question is different... so I suggest keeping the posts separate to avoid confusion.

Also, I'm unable to duplicate your VirusTotal screenshot. I downloaded the O&O ShutUp10 v1.8.1421 executable (OOSU10.exe) and submitted it to VirusTotal with the following result:



PS - ShutUp10 is only available as a portable version. There is no installer version available.

Hope this helps...

First you need to sign-in or have a VT account
Next you upload again the file
Then you will see the same as my screenshot

I was expecting a .zip file not an .exe file, that is why I thought other installer was available

Run OOSU10.exe no issues, but I don not trust because the alerts @VT

The report just matches the types of changes it makes to your system to potentially unwanted ones in their databases.

Having said that - I don't use the app myself. It's designed for users to quickly make/ revert changes without having to dig into the system.

So In a few words is safe, clean and cheap?

As far as I'm concerned it's safe. Not malware or spyware. However it disables things that Microsoft would prefer that you kept enabled.

I will take the risk

Tid-bit advice: Don't go any deeper than recommended settings..., weird hard to trace things happen!
