Suspicious
Signed Screenpresso executable shows unusual process injection and LSASS access patterns despite clean engine scans, warranting caution.
59e53f855d2a982053…ed02d95642The reasoning behind this verdict
The MT AI Engine weighs every signal from this scan — antivirus detections, sandbox behaviour, code signing, prevalence and historical matches — to reach a single, evidence-based verdict.
The file is clean across 71 engines including all tier-1 scanners, providing strong evidence of no known malware signatures. However, behavioral heuristics highlight process injection (T1055) and credential dumping patterns targeting LSASS, which are atypical for benign software. High code entropy and packing further contribute to suspicion, echoed by a prior similar imphash verdict. The verified signature by Learnpulse SAS (publisher of Screenpresso) is a positive but outweighed by these signals without historical signer data.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

Do not run unless verified from official Learnpulse sources. If needed for screen capture, download fresh from the vendor site and re-scan. Consider alternatives if behavior persists.
What this file does
What it attempted when executed in an isolated sandbox
High concern: Hides inside another running program to evade antivirus.
High concern: Records what you type — keylogger behaviour.
High concern: Talks to a remote server to take commands or send out your data.
High concern: Sets itself to run automatically every time you start your PC.
High concern: Tries to disable or bypass your security software.
High concern: Loads hidden code straight into memory to dodge scanners.
Moderate concern: Obfuscates or packs its code to avoid detection.
Translated from the file's technical behaviour during analysis. It never ran on your device.
What to do now
We couldn't fully clear this file. Treat it with caution.
Don't run it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.
Check where you got it — an email attachment or a random download link is a red flag.
If you're unsure, delete it. You can always re-download a clean copy from the official source.
If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.

YARA & heuristic rule matches
A researcher-curated or high-severity heuristic rule matched this sample. These rules target specific malware families and are near-definitive.
MITRE T1055 (Process Injection) observed — CreateRemoteThread / APC / reflective-DLL injection. The payload is being smuggled into a legitimate process to bypass AV hooks.
EvidenceC:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService -pSandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.

0 detections across 76 engines
Section entropy & packers
Executable sections have high entropy (7.2+) — the code is compressed or encrypted and only decrypted at runtime. Classic packing behaviour.
How widely this file has been seen
Moderate prevalence — neither rare nor common. No strong prior applies.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about Screenpresso.exe, answered from the scan data above.
- Screenpresso.exe is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 0 of 76 antivirus engines flag it, which isn't a strong consensus but is enough to be cautious. Don't run it unless you fully trust where it came from, and prefer downloading the software fresh from its official site.
- Screenpresso.exe is a Windows executable program, about 45.8 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.
- None — all 76 antivirus engines we queried report Screenpresso.exe as clean. That's reassuring, though brand-new malware can briefly evade detection before vendors add signatures, so we also weigh the file's behaviour and reputation.
- 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.
- To remove Screenpresso.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 the original Screenpresso.exe file and empty the Recycle Bin/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.
- Yes — Screenpresso.exe carries a valid digital signature from Learnpulse SAS, 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.
- The SHA-256 hash of Screenpresso.exe is 59e53f855d2a98205381a72ce833d8c2c7270adc059438bd23538ced02d95642, and its MD5 is 49b95d19cd1455a02421293dd779b2e6. 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.
- This report reflects the scan run on April 24, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Screenpresso.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.
