Verdict Suspicious

Analyzed , 5 days ago

Is OpenGameMate-Setup-0.1.0.exe safe? Treat it as suspicious.

One less reliable detection contrasts with split sandbox results; the unsigned, protected installer lacks corroborating malicious network, file it created, or family evidence.

Read the whole reasonShow less

Why Suspicious? One antivirus engine (APEX) flags it and one of our detection rules matched it.

Moderate evidence · More than one sign points to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful.

Don't install it until you know where it came from

Confirm the file's SHA-256 with the developer's official release before use. Keep security protection enabled and do not run it if the source or checksum cannot be verified.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't install it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already installed it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Not sure what to do?

Ask the MalwareTips community before you run it. If you already ran it, follow the cleanup guide.

MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

Only 1 of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the installer, and no major antivirus engines identified malware. However, one sandbox run returned a malicious result while another was clean, and the executable is unsigned and protected, so caution is warranted until its origin and checksum are verified.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Only one less reliable engine flagged the file, while 14 major antivirus engines reported no detection.
  • No malicious contacted host, malicious child, malware-specific community rule, or public malware-database listing corroborates the adverse sandbox result.
  • Four of five files built with the same import table previously received safe outcomes, although their different publishers make those matches weak.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Unpacked hidden content while it ran.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Read the user name of the test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.
