Is Liminal Memory.exe safe?

Verdict
Suspicious

Unsigned 640 kB PE with two low-trust detections and direct-IP traffic observed in sandbox.

Two engines flagged the file with generic machine-learning and heuristic labels; no tier-1 consensus or external-intel corroboration exists. The sample is unsigned, contacted external IPs without domains, and lacks any established signer or prevalence history that would clear it.

Do not run it until verified

Treat as untrusted; obtain further sandbox or dynamic-analysis results before allowing execution.

Recommended next actions

01

Before running

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

02

If you already ran it

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

Analyst conclusion

Two engines flagged the file with generic machine-learning and heuristic labels; no tier-1 consensus or external-intel corroboration exists. The sample is unsigned, contacted external IPs without domains, and lacks any established signer or prevalence history that would clear it.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • Malwarebytes tier2 ML.Anomalous.100% and MaxSecure low_trust Trojan label are generic heuristics; no named 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; obtain further sandbox or dynamic-analysis results before allowing execution.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

  • High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.

  • Note: Collects details about your system.

  • Note: Connected to 3 servers during sandbox analysis.

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 to do now

We couldn't fully clear this file. Treat it with caution.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Don't run it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

    Check where you got it — an unexpected attachment or a random download link is a red flag.

  3. Recovery step 03

    If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this file and use a fresh copy from a trusted source. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.

  4. Recovery step 04

    If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.

7 evidence-based answers
Is Liminal Memory.exe safe, or is it malware?
Evidence-based answer
Liminal Memory.exe is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 2 of 75 antivirus engines flag it; that detection signal contributes to the cautious verdict. Don't run it unless you fully trust where it came from. Get a fresh copy from the developer's official site or an official app store.
What is Liminal Memory.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Liminal Memory.exe is a Windows executable program, about 625 KB. 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 Liminal Memory.exe?
Evidence-based answer
2 of 75 antivirus engines flagged Liminal Memory.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 ran Liminal Memory.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 Liminal Memory.exe?
Evidence-based answer
To remove Liminal Memory.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 is the SHA-256 hash of Liminal Memory.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of Liminal Memory.exe is dcdd356539cfc8861b9856133b52c73abbc97448a994cc75b2dff74b333f70aa, and its MD5 is d5d56c67cc0278c4050053ca9b969e1b. 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 Liminal Memory.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on August 21, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of Liminal Memory.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.
