Is z0nreccs.exe safe?

Verdict
Safe

No antivirus engine detected the signed executable, and its completed runtime check showed no malware-specific behavior, although one ransomware-oriented YARA rule warrants caution.

The file has no detections among 75 antivirus engines, carries a verified NetEase signature, and produced no malicious sandbox verdict or offensive behavior. Four community YARA matches—especially VECT_Ransomware—are the main concern, but they are not corroborated by runtime activity, malicious children, network reputation, or engine detections.

Run with normal care

Use the file only if it came from an official or otherwise trusted NetEase distribution channel, and verify its digital signature locally. Keep endpoint protection enabled because the ransomware-oriented YARA match remains an unresolved caution.

Analyst conclusion

The file has no detections among 75 antivirus engines, carries a verified NetEase signature, and produced no malicious sandbox verdict or offensive behavior. Four community YARA matches—especially VECT_Ransomware—are the main concern, but they are not corroborated by runtime activity, malicious children, network reputation, or engine detections.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • YARAify matched four rules, including 'VECT_Ransomware'; researcher-rule convergence can indicate malware even before antivirus detections appear.
  • signing.signerStats.found=false and signing.trustedPublisher.matched=false, so the verified NetEase signature lacks corroborating publisher history in this dataset.
  • The filename 'z0nreccs.exe' is opaque and does not identify a recognizable product, although brandMismatch was not detected.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Use the file only if it came from an official or otherwise trusted NetEase distribution channel, and verify its digital signature locally. Keep endpoint protection enabled because the ransomware-oriented YARA match remains an unresolved caution.

What to do now

This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.

  1. Recovery step 01

    Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.

  2. Recovery step 02

    A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.

  3. Recovery step 03

    Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.

7 evidence-based answers
Is z0nreccs.exe safe?
Evidence-based answer
z0nreccs.exe appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. It carries a verified digital signature from NetEase (Hangzhou) Network Co.. Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is z0nreccs.exe?
Evidence-based answer
z0nreccs.exe is a Windows executable program, about 351 KB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. It carries a verified digital signature from NetEase (Hangzhou) Network Co.. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected z0nreccs.exe?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged z0nreccs.exe. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
Is z0nreccs.exe digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — z0nreccs.exe carries a valid digital signature from NetEase (Hangzhou) Network Co., which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
What is the SHA-256 hash of z0nreccs.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of z0nreccs.exe is 56c244aded0313ebda795841c0db38dbe3e3321f5c9302cc166d5de39c417cb2, and its MD5 is 4fc050633f860b43e66f4a43b06795b7. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to run z0nreccs.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, z0nreccs.exe has a low observed risk and is properly signed. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of z0nreccs.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on October 5, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of z0nreccs.exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
