Verdict

Suspicious

Unsigned installer with sandbox evidence of process injection and LSASS access plus one tier-1 PUA detection.

The file is an unsigned NSIS installer that drops an executable and shows sandbox activity consistent with process injection and credential-store access. Only one tier-1 engine flagged it as a generic PUA; no named malware family or tier-1 consensus exists.

Do not install it until verified

Treat as untrusted; do not run. Delete the file and obtain legitimate software only from verified publishers.

Before installing

Do not install it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.

If you already installed it

Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Download a fresh installer from the developer's official site or an official app store.

Intelligence

The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.

Analyst conclusion

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat

Sophos tier-1 detection is PUA label, not named malware family; no tier-1 family consensus.

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 as untrusted; do not run. Delete the file and obtain legitimate software only from verified publishers.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.
High concern: Changed an auto-start location that can make code run after sign-in or restart.
High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.
Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.
Moderate concern: Runs hidden system commands (script or shell).
Moderate concern: Communicated over a common application protocol; malware can use this for command-and-control.
Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.

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.

What is WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe?

Evidence-based answer

WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe is a software installer, about 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 WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe?

Evidence-based answer

2 of 74 antivirus engines flagged WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe, 2 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.

What should I do if I already installed WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe?

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 WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe?

Evidence-based answer

To remove WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.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 WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe?

Evidence-based answer

WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe is classified as a trojan — malware disguised as something harmless to trick you into running it. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.

What is the SHA-256 hash of WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe?

Evidence-based answer

The SHA-256 hash of WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe is 7528b7dee6f771a98a1dda3a50f75ea98af7bd73794cacb1e5ec41cef9d0f5ec, and its MD5 is 4116f5faa4de3f2059f4758091050098. 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 WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe?

Evidence-based answer

This report reflects the scan run on August 17, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of WhatsApp Chat Generator_1.1.0_x64-setup.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.
