Is MiniMeters v1.0.28.233 Installer.exe safe?
Zero engine detections, verified signature, and five prior safe imphash matches outweigh the sandbox credential-access flags.
All 75 engines returned clean. The installer is signed and matches five previously safe imphash samples. Sandbox flagged LSASS access and process injection, but these appear to be false positives from the installer framework rather than malicious intent.

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.
All 75 engines returned clean. The installer is signed and matches five previously safe imphash samples. Sandbox flagged LSASS access and process injection, but these appear to be false positives from the installer framework rather than malicious intent.
The complete absence of malicious detections across 75 engines, including 17 tier-1 engines, is the strongest signal. The file is signed and the imphash has five prior safe verdicts. While the sandbox recorded LSASS reads and process injection, these techniques are common in legitimate installers that bundle helper services. Medium prevalence and installer filename patterns further support a benign classification.
What We Detected
Zero detections from 75 engines; file signed by Joseph Lyncheski. Sandbox recorded LSASS access (T1003), process injection (T1055), and credential-access calls (T1555) during installation.
Threat Behavior
no complete contacted-host reputation result was available, no malicious dropped children, and no external-intel hits. The observed MITRE techniques are consistent with installer frameworks that spawn helper processes and register VST3 plug-ins.
What To Do Now
Keep Windows Defender and other endpoint protection enabled. The file can be installed if obtained from the official minimeters.app site; verify the download hash if possible.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Sandbox observed LSASS access (T1003) and process injection (T1055) — legitimate audio software has no business reading credential store memory.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/75 engines flagged malicious
- Verified digital signature
- 5 prior safe imphash matches
- Medium prevalence, installer filename
- Sandbox flagged LSASS access and process injection
The evidence supports treating the file as safe; install only from the vendor's official site and keep security software active.

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
A community signature or high-severity behavioral heuristic matched. Signatures identify known patterns; heuristics are strong leads but are not proof on their own.
The saved runtime evidence maps this activity to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection). The mapping supports possible process injection, but it does not prove the exact injection method or the operator's intent.
EvidenceC:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted -p -s WdiSystemHostSandbox 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.exeThe 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.
