The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
This unsigned ZIP archive shows no malicious indicators. All 17 high-trust antivirus engines (Kaspersky, BitDefender, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, and others) report it undetected. The file has been submitted 2,172 times by 1,909 unique sources over 88 days with zero reputation score, indicating established, widely-distributed software. No sandbox, external intelligence, or heuristic signals suggest malware.
The evidence overwhelmingly supports a benign classification. Zero malicious detections across a comprehensive tier-1 engine set (Avast, AVG, Avira, BitDefender, DrWeb, Emsisoft, ESET-NOD32, F-Secure, Fortinet, GData, Ikarus, Kaspersky, Microsoft) combined with medium prevalence (1,909 submitters, 2,172 submissions) indicates a legitimate, widely-known software archive. The filename pattern 'ProdKeys.NET-v22.0.0' is consistent with a .NET utility distribution. No runtime behaviour data, dropped children, malicious host contacts, or external intelligence hits were recorded. The absence of triggered heuristics and adversarial input flags further supports a clean classification.
What We Detected
A 7.4 KB ZIP archive named 'ProdKeys.NET-v22.0.0.zip' submitted 88 days ago. The file is unsigned and contains no embedded signatures. Our antivirus network scanned it across 64 engines, with 17 high-trust vendors (Kaspersky, BitDefender, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, F-Secure, Ikarus, GData, DrWeb, Avira, AVG, Avast) all reporting it undetected.
Threat Behavior
No malicious behaviour was observed. The file has not been executed in sandbox environments, no malicious child processes were dropped, and no contact with known-malicious hosts was recorded. External intelligence sources (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify) returned no hits. The filename and versioning pattern ('v22.0.0') are consistent with legitimate .NET software distribution rather than malware.
Prevalence & Reputation
The archive has been submitted 2,172 times by 1,909 unique sources since April 2026, indicating widespread distribution and familiarity. The reputation score is 0 (neutral), with no malicious reports from the community. This medium prevalence profile is typical of legitimate, established software rather than malware.
What To Do Now
No action is required. This file appears to be a legitimate .NET software distribution archive. If you downloaded it from an official source, it is safe to extract and use. If you have concerns about the contents, you may extract it in an isolated environment and scan the individual files within.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- The file is unsigned and has no signer history — if the archive contained malicious .NET assemblies, they would not be cryptographically verified. However, the universal tier-1 clean consensus and medium prevalence make a trojanized archive scenario unlikely.
- No sandbox execution data was collected — we cannot confirm the contents of the ZIP are truly benign at runtime. However, zero detections across 17 high-trust engines and 2,172 submissions suggest the contents have been analyzed or are known-safe.
- The filename 'ProdKeys' could theoretically refer to a key-stealing utility, but the .NET-v22.0.0 versioning pattern and medium prevalence are inconsistent with malware distribution; legitimate software versioning is more common.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 17 tier-1 antivirus engines (Kaspersky, BitDefender, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, F-Secure, Ikarus, GData, DrWeb, Avira, AVG, Avast) all undetected
- Medium prevalence: 2,172 submissions from 1,909 unique sources over 88 days
- Zero reputation score with no malicious community reports
- No sandbox execution, dropped children, or malicious host contacts
- Filename and versioning pattern consistent with legitimate .NET software distribution
This file is safe to use. It shows no malicious indicators across our antivirus network and has been widely distributed without incident. If obtained from an official source, proceed with confidence.
