Is com.2manyrobots.Yate safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

Three tier-1 engines flag a PUA label on a self-signed DMG with no established signer history.

Six of 75 engines flag the file, three of them tier-1, all pointing to a PUA/OSX.TNT.A family. The DMG is self-signed by an unknown entity and shows direct-IP traffic, yet no malicious sandbox verdict or known-bad hosts were recorded.

Do not open it until verified

Treat the DMG as untrusted; verify the source and consider an alternative, signed distribution from a known vendor before installation.

01

Before opening

Do not open it until the source can be verified independently.

02

If you already opened it

Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Get a fresh copy from the original trusted source and verify its exact hash when possible.

Analyst conclusion

Six of 75 engines flag the file, three of them tier-1, all pointing to a PUA/OSX.TNT.A family. The DMG is self-signed by an unknown entity and shows direct-IP traffic, yet no malicious sandbox verdict or known-bad hosts were recorded.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • engines.tier1ReportedClean=11 and tier1Total=17 — majority of tier-1 engines did not flag the file.

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

Treat the DMG as untrusted; verify the source and consider an alternative, signed distribution from a known vendor before installation.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

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

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.

8 evidence-based answers
Is com.2manyrobots.Yate safe, or is it malware?
Evidence-based answer
com.2manyrobots.Yate is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 6 of 75 antivirus engines flag it; that detection signal contributes to the cautious verdict. Don't open it unless you fully trust where it came from. Get a fresh copy from the original trusted source and verify its exact hash when possible.
What is com.2manyrobots.Yate?
Evidence-based answer
com.2manyrobots.Yate is a file, about 15.2 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.
How many antivirus engines detected com.2manyrobots.Yate?
Evidence-based answer
6 of 75 antivirus engines flagged com.2manyrobots.Yate, 6 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.
I already downloaded and opened com.2manyrobots.Yate — 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 com.2manyrobots.Yate?
Evidence-based answer
To remove com.2manyrobots.Yate: 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.
Is com.2manyrobots.Yate digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
com.2manyrobots.Yate claims a signer of TNT - why join the navy if you can be a pirate, but the signature is not verified — an unverified or broken signature can be forged, so it should not be trusted as proof of who made the file.
What is the SHA-256 hash of com.2manyrobots.Yate?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of com.2manyrobots.Yate is 16e105c9ffb60aa98ef689750f3243e2eaa1e31b940ac2e6e1694405f5e79f6d, and its MD5 is 43a37abd0e0b246e6aad8e0f48fda1c7. 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 com.2manyrobots.Yate?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 2, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of com.2manyrobots.Yate 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.
