Is UltimMC-Launcher-Win32.zip safe?
Four tier-1 engines flagged this newly observed launcher archive, but generic and conflicting labels plus absent runtime evidence prevent reliable family attribution.
The archive drew 14 detections from 75 engines, including four high-trust engines, which is too substantial to dismiss. Labels are generic or divided between trojan, game-hack, riskware, and PUA classifications, while no completed runtime observation or contacted-host reputation check is available.

Before opening or extracting
Do not open or extract it until the source can be verified independently.
If you already opened or extracted 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.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The archive drew 14 detections from 75 engines, including four high-trust engines, which is too substantial to dismiss. Labels are generic or divided between trojan, game-hack, riskware, and PUA classifications, while no completed runtime observation or contacted-host reputation check is available.
Four high-trust engines flagged the archive, with ESET-NOD32 and Ikarus using generic trojan labels and Fortinet reporting a possible threat. Sophos instead identified reputation-based PUA behavior, and 13 tier-1 engines did not detect it, so the evidence does not establish a specific malware family. The archive was first observed today and has only one recorded submission, leaving little prevalence history to offset the detections. No completed sandbox run is available, and no complete contacted-host reputation result exists. Curated external sources returned no matches, but their silence does not outweigh multiple independent high-trust warnings.
What We Detected
Fourteen of 75 antivirus engines flagged the ZIP archive. High-trust detections came from ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Ikarus, and Sophos, although their labels do not converge: they range from generic trojan and possible-threat names to a reputation-based PUA classification.
Threat Behavior
No completed runtime observation is available, so execution, persistence, credential access, and network behavior were not observed. The contacted-host reputation cross-check was also unavailable, meaning no conclusion can be drawn about potential network destinations. Researcher-curated sources supplied no matching malware record or YARA rule.
What To Do Now
Do not extract or launch the included executable on a production system. Keep endpoint protection enabled, obtain the launcher from its official release channel, and verify a publisher-provided checksum or signature before use.
Where this verdict could be wrong4 caveats
- 13 of 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection, including Avast, AVG, Avira, BitDefender, DrWeb, Emsisoft, F-Secure, and GData.
- externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0, externalIntel.circl.hit=false, and externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false; these absences may reflect coverage gaps rather than benignity.
- Sophos labeled the sample 'Generic Reputation PUA' and Malwarebytes labeled it 'RiskWare.Agent', suggesting some detections concern unwanted or risky software rather than a confirmed trojan.
- similarHashes contains only one filetype-only match to a differently named archive, so that prior malicious verdict provides little sample-specific support.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 13 of 17 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- No strong tier-1 family consensus was present.
- MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify supplied no corroborating hit.
- No brand mismatch was detected.
- 14/75 antivirus engines reported a detection.
- Four high-trust engines flagged the archive.
- The file is newly observed with only one recorded submission.
- The ZIP contains a Windows PE executable.
- No completed runtime analysis is available.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
Quarantine the archive and avoid opening its executable until it can be matched to an official release and verified by checksum or signature. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled.

- Recovery step 01
Don't open or extract it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.
- Recovery step 02
Check where you got it — an unexpected attachment or a random download link is a red flag.
- Recovery step 03
If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this archive and use a fresh copy from a trusted source. Get a fresh copy from the original trusted source and verify its exact hash when possible.
- Recovery step 04
If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.
