Is PineconeMC-Windows-MSVC-Setup-11.0.3.exe safe?
Unsigned installer with zero engine detections, medium prevalence, and clean sandbox and host-reputation results.
Zero of 75 engines flagged the file. The installer shows typical NSIS behaviour, writes expected Prism Launcher files, and contacts only known CDN and certificate no complete contacted-host reputation result was available.

Before installing
Install it only when it came from the developer's official site or an official app store.
If you already installed it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
Zero of 75 engines flagged the file. The installer shows typical NSIS behaviour, writes expected Prism Launcher files, and contacts only known CDN and certificate no complete contacted-host reputation result was available.
The complete absence of detections across 75 reporting engines, including 16 tier-1 engines, outweighs the unsigned status and two generic MITRE techniques. Sandbox execution produced no malicious verdict and dropped children are clean. Contacted hosts contain no known-malicious entries. Medium prevalence and installer filename pattern align with legitimate Prism Launcher distribution.
What We Detected
75-engine scan returned zero malicious or suspicious labels. The file is an unsigned 23 MB NSIS installer that drops ElyPrismLauncher components and a VC++ redistributable. Sandbox observed typical installer actions plus direct-IP OCSP and CDN traffic.
Threat Behavior
No malicious sandbox verdict, no malicious dropped children, and no complete contacted-host reputation result was available. The two flagged MITRE techniques (T1134 token manipulation, T1485 data destruction) appear in context of the redistributable installer and temporary-file cleanup, not attacker activity.
What To Do Now
Keep Windows Defender and other endpoint protection enabled. If the file was obtained from the official PineconeMC or Prism Launcher repositories, it matches expected distribution patterns. Verify the SHA-256 before execution if additional assurance is required.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- signing.signed=false and signing.signerStats.found=false — unsigned installer with no established publisher history.
- behaviour.offensiveTechniques include T1134 and T1485; triggeredHeuristics.DirectIpC2 fired on 11 direct IPs.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Zero detections across 75 engines
- Medium prevalence, thousands of prior submissions
- No malicious sandbox verdict or dropped children
- no complete contacted-host reputation result was available
- File is unsigned
- Direct-IP connections observed (common in installers)
The evidence supports treating the file as safe for use; retain endpoint protection and verify the download source.

Detection sources at a glance
The available sources did not agree on a named threat category.
MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.
Signatures and behavior heuristics
Behavioral heuristics matched patterns associated with malware. Corroborating evidence determines how much weight they carry.
The sample contacted an external IP address directly and no application domain was recorded. Direct-IP traffic also occurs in legitimate installers and infrastructure, so this is supporting context only and requires corroboration from host reputation and other runtime evidence.
