Suspicious
Installer shows process-injection and direct-IP contact signals alongside an imphash tied to OfferCore PUA samples.
7b216d881d9541cb2c…af7bb3e1e2The 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 single CrowdStrike detection carries an adwarePua label but lacks tier-1 support. Offensive MITRE techniques T1055, T1485 and T1548 plus three high/medium heuristics indicate suspicious runtime behaviour. Five similar imphash samples were previously classified malicious or suspicious with OfferCore family. YARAify returned eight rules including injection detectors. No malicious dropped children or contacted hosts were found, and the file contacts BeamMP backend domains, leaving the overall picture borderline.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

- No tier-1 engine detections
- No malicious dropped children
- No known-malicious contacted hosts
- Medium prevalence across thousands of submissions
- Process injection (T1055) observed in sandbox
- Direct-IP C2 pattern without DNS usage
- Imphash collision with known OfferCore samples
- YARAify injection and TLS-section rules matched
Treat as suspicious PUA; do not run on production systems until the BeamMP project confirms the binary hash.
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: Talks to a remote server to take commands or send out your data.
Moderate concern: Obfuscates or packs its code to avoid detection.
Moderate concern: Lists running programs — often to find security tools.
Moderate concern: Deletes traces of itself to cover its tracks.
Moderate concern: Checks whether it's being watched in a sandbox before acting.
Moderate concern: Checks which security software you have installed.

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.

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\Explorer.EXESandbox observed process activity targeting LSASS (Windows credential store). Legitimate software has no business reading LSASS memory — this is Mimikatz-shape behaviour.
EvidenceC:\Windows\system32\lsass.exeSample contacted 3 external IP address(es) and zero domains. Benign software virtually always uses DNS; no-DNS direct-IP C2 is a strong malware indicator because it bypasses reputation systems and dodges domain-based blocklists.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about BeamMP_Installer.exe, answered from the scan data above.
- BeamMP_Installer.exe is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 1 of 74 antivirus engines flag it (family: offercore), 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.
- BeamMP_Installer.exe is a Windows executable program, about 4.7 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.
- 1 of 74 antivirus engines flagged BeamMP_Installer.exe, 1 of them as outright malicious. A small number of detections can include false positives, so we weigh which engines flagged it and what else the file does, not just the raw count.
- 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 BeamMP_Installer.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 BeamMP_Installer.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.
- BeamMP_Installer.exe is classified as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUA) — not always destructive, but it bundles ads, trackers, or unwanted changes you didn't ask for. Engines attribute it to the offercore family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
- BeamMP_Installer.exe claims a signer of BeamMP Mod Team, 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.
- The SHA-256 hash of BeamMP_Installer.exe is 7b216d881d9541cb2c563393963cccedf4c55d3282aa30abb39585af7bb3e1e2, and its MD5 is 8b6ef9a77a5bc84734c3995ec4ebf6b3. 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 July 19, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of BeamMP_Installer.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.
