Is Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe safe?

Verdict
Malicious

Twenty-one of 75 engines flag this newly observed executable, with multiple high-trust products naming OfferCore and runtime evidence mapping possible process injection.

The file shows a well-corroborated OfferCore bundle-installer pattern: 21 of 75 engines detect it, including six independent high-trust votes. Its verified Infivora signature offers little reassurance because all five historical samples associated with that signer were previously malicious, and runtime evidence includes T1055 process injection.

Do not run this file

Quarantine or delete this file and obtain the software from an official source. If it was executed, keep protection enabled and run a full endpoint scan.

Analyst conclusion

The file shows a well-corroborated OfferCore bundle-installer pattern: 21 of 75 engines detect it, including six independent high-trust votes. Its verified Infivora signature offers little reassurance because all five historical samples associated with that signer were previously malicious, and runtime evidence includes T1055 process injection.

Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
  • signing.verified=true for 'Infivora', but signing.trustedPublisher.matched=false and the signer's 5/5 malicious history substantially weakens that assurance.
  • behaviour.hasMaliciousSandboxVerdict=false and droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false; the inspected child remained unknown rather than being established as benign.
  • contactedHosts found no cached malicious or suspicious results among 12 inspected hosts, but the check did not cover every distinct observed IP and URL.
  • externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0, externalIntel.circl.hit=false, and externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false; these absences may reflect intelligence-coverage gaps.

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

Recommended action

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.

  • Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.

  • Moderate concern: Removed execution artefacts or logs, which can conceal activity.

  • Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.

  • Note: Collects details about your system.

  • Note: Loads extra code modules while running.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Threat context

How bundlers & adware work

This is a bundler — a real-looking installer that hides extra software inside. When you run it, it quietly installs things you never asked for: ad injectors, browser toolbars, fake 'PC cleaner' apps, or even more bundlers. The people behind it get paid for every unwanted app they sneak on.

Bottom line:It's not usually built to destroy files, but it slows your PC, floods it with ads, and can be a real pain to fully remove.

What to do now

This file is dangerous. Treat it as harmful and remove it.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Don't run this file. Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.

  2. Recovery step 02

    If you already ran it, disconnect from the internet and start with a full antivirus scan or Microsoft Defender Offline scan. If compromise is suspected or the problem persists, use a reputable second-opinion scanner and follow incident-recovery or clean-reinstall guidance.

  3. Recovery step 03

    If you typed any passwords while it was open, change them from a device you trust.

  4. Recovery step 04

    Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.

9 evidence-based answers
Is Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe malware?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe is malicious. Do not run it. Delete this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 21 of 75 antivirus engines flag it (family: OfferCore). It behaves as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUA) — not always destructive, but it bundles ads, trackers, or unwanted changes you didn't ask for. If you've already run it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
What is Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe is a Windows executable program, about 15.4 MB. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: OfferCore) — adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUA) — not always destructive, but it bundles ads, trackers, or unwanted changes you didn't ask for. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
How many antivirus engines detected Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe?
Evidence-based answer
21 of 75 antivirus engines flagged Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe, 21 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence. The malicious verdict comes from the complete saved evidence, not from this antivirus count by itself.
I already downloaded and ran Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe — what should I do?
Evidence-based answer
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.
How do I remove Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe?
Evidence-based answer
To remove Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.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 this file from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or 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.
What kind of malware is Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.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 OfferCore 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.
Is Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe carries a valid digital signature from Infivora, 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.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe is 153635936f584788f17dcfe2db6fc1e7940d165eb809104eb26c91dd130eee25, and its MD5 is 6705f2a4050671347aba93600bf3d4a4. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 9, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Command and Conquer Renegade_P5HT3-9.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.
