PUP.Gamehack.MP
PUP.Gamehack.MP is the SpyHunter detection name for a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This report summarizes what security researchers observe from samples that match this detection and explains how to remove the threat from an affected device.
Detections in this class are assigned by signature and behavioral analysis rather than to a single, named malware family, so the exact payload can vary between samples. The behavior described below is drawn from automated analysis of a representative sample and should be treated as indicative rather than exhaustive.
Table of Contents
What Is PUP.Gamehack.MP?
PUP.Gamehack.MP flags files that behave in ways consistent with a potentially unwanted program (PUP). The analyzed sample is a Windows PE executable with a signature status of No Signature. Because the detection is signature-based, files caught by it may be delivered through a range of channels — bundled installers, cracked or pirated software, malicious email attachments, or drive-by downloads from untrustworthy sites.
How PUP.Gamehack.MP Operates
In the analyzed run, the sample created or modified files such as:
c:windowssystem32stdout.log
Malware Analysis
The values below are for a single representative sample. A signature-based detection matches many distinct files, so treat these as one example rather than the only indicator of compromise:
- SHA-256:
75b2886a9836e07699f58482e85165aae7136b9bdaae5c14e9d4c99c7e9568c1 - File type: Windows PE executable
- Signature status: No Signature
Symptoms of Infection
- Security software repeatedly reports PUP.Gamehack.MP on the device.
- The system runs slower than usual, or unfamiliar processes appear in Task Manager.
- Unexpected network activity, new files, or changed settings that you did not authorize.
Why PUP.Gamehack.MP Is a Risk
Any file that triggers this detection should be treated as untrusted. Threats in this category can be used to download further malware, steal information, or give an attacker a foothold on the system. Even if a single sample appears low-impact, leaving it in place exposes the device to the additional payloads it may fetch.
How to Remove PUP.Gamehack.MP
Follow these general steps to remove the threat and undo the changes it may have made:
- Disconnect and reboot into Safe Mode. Disconnect from the internet and restart Windows in Safe Mode with Networking to stop the threat from running.
- Run a full anti-malware scan. Use a reputable, up-to-date security tool such as SpyHunter to scan the entire system and quarantine everything detected as PUP.Gamehack.MP.
- Remove suspicious programs. In Settings > Apps (or Control Panel > Programs and Features), uninstall any unfamiliar applications installed around the time the problem began.
- Reset affected browsers. In Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, remove unknown extensions and reset settings to clear any changes made to your homepage or search provider.
- Reboot and re-scan. Restart normally and run a second full scan to confirm the system is clean.
Running a full system scan with an anti-malware tool such as SpyHunter is the most reliable way to detect every component associated with this threat and remove it completely.
Conclusion
PUP.Gamehack.MP is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that should be removed promptly. Because it is detected by signature and behavior, the safest approach is a full anti-malware scan followed by the cleanup steps above, plus cautious downloading habits to avoid re-infection.

Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.| Total Blocks: | 3,246 |
|---|---|
| Potentially Malicious Blocks: | 79 |
| Whitelisted Blocks: | 2,544 |
| Unknown Blocks: | 623 |
