Hello!

My recent system scan with the latest version of Malwarebytes has left the web-installer of Slimjet >> entirely exhumed !

The web-installer were recognized as PUP & default action of MBAM - 'Quarantine' has made that disappear from my downloads folder.

Where did you get the file?

When I click on the webinstaller and download it and check the SHA-256 signature it doesn't match the file size or SHA-256 signature of the one that you uploaded to virustotal.

oftentired,

I can't check on linux, but how does that file scan on virustotal, better or same as his? You might also scan it here:

Like you, I suspect a bad file source &/or false positives.
