Hi there! Just a quick post today, since I’m busy working with the next release of FreeFixer. Did you see a file, such as vlc-media-player.exe, on your system signed by PremiumBeam (New Media Holdings Ltd.)? Then read on..

If you have a PremiumBeam (New Media Holdings Ltd.) file on your computer you may have noticed that PremiumBeam (New Media Holdings Ltd.) pops up as the publisher in the User Account Control dialog when running the file. The PremiumBeam (New Media Holdings Ltd.) certificate shows that the publisher is located in Tel Aviv, Israel.

These are the current VirusTotal detections for the file. PUP.Optional.InstallCore, HEUR/QVM06.1.Malware.Gen, Install Core Click run software (PUA), SScope.Malware-Cryptor.InstallCore and InstallCore (fs) as a few of the detection names for the vlc-media-player.exe file.

Did you also find a file signed by PremiumBeam (New Media Holdings Ltd.)? What kind of download was it and where did you find it?

Thanks for reading.
