The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 67 antivirus engines that checked it returned clean. Sandbox execution produced no malicious verdict and no malicious files it created were dropped. The two triggered rules explicitly note they do not prove malicious intent.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • triggeredHeuristics fired one of our behaviour rules (high) and one of our behaviour rules (low) — these rules map to and direct-IP traffic but the evidence text states they do not prove malicious intent.

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

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is Near.zip safe?
We found nothing harmful in Near.zip. None of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust the person or website you got it from.
What is Near.zip?
Near.zip is a ZIP archive, about 8.6 MB. VirusTotal first saw it on Aug 22, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected Near.zip?
None of the 67 antivirus engines that checked it flag Near.zip. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Near.zip?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Near.zip is 68e9dc9b559d8a17286cc5ef88f5bcfe22a7bca16ed27f882954140da19b5c14, and its MD5 is a070bef681b1c04609729adb7f8b2141. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to open or extract Near.zip?
We found nothing harmful in Near.zip. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of Near.zip?
This report reflects the scan on Aug 25, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
