Historical analyst feedback consistently flags similar events as false positives.\n\n**IOC Analysis:** The file path is in AppData\\Local\\Temp, which is expected for temporary installer files. The parent process MsiExec.exe is a known Windows system binary running from its expected location (SysWOW64). The hash and signature are not provided but the context suggests legitimate Windows Installer activity.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\udd16 deepseek-r1:8b Analysis (Secondary)\n**Verdict:** suspicious | **Confidence:** 0.6\nThe detection event involves a new process from an atypical path in the Temp folder, which is suspicious. However, the parent process is legitimate MsiExec.exe, and the binary is signed, potentially indicating a false positive or benign activity related to software installation.\n\n**IOC Analysis:** The FILE_PATH is atypical, located in the Temp folder with a random GUID, which is common for malware obfuscation. The HASH is provided but not verified for Microsoft signature, and while FILE_IS_SIGNED is positive, it does not guarantee legitimacy. The COMMAND_LINE contains GUIDs, which could indicate legitimate system processes or malicious communication.",
