Is Softube Tape v2.5.9 [FileCR].zip safe?
No antivirus engine detected this established ZIP archive, although its extracted contents were not executed and should still be scanned before use.
All 73 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 18 tier-1 contributors. The archive has also been known for more than three years, but no sandbox run examined its extracted contents, so scan them before opening or installing anything.

Before opening or extracting
Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
If you already opened or extracted it
Keep normal device protection enabled and stop if the file behaves unexpectedly.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 73 antivirus engines were free of malicious or suspicious detections, including 18 tier-1 contributors. The archive has also been known for more than three years, but no sandbox run examined its extracted contents, so scan them before opening or installing anything.
The strongest evidence is complete detection silence: 0 of 73 antivirus engines flagged the archive, while all 18 participating tier-1 engines returned no detection. The file has been observed for 1,267 days and submitted 16 times by 15 sources, giving detections time to develop if it were a recognized threat. No malware family consensus, hacktool confirmation, malicious child, or researcher-curated threat-intelligence hit is present. However, the sample is a ZIP archive and no completed runtime observation exists, so this assessment does not establish that every extracted file behaves benignly. The contacted-no complete contacted-host reputation result was available, and some external-intelligence sources were not queried.
What We Detected
None of the 73 antivirus engines reported the ZIP as malicious or suspicious. All 18 tier-1 contributors that participated, including BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Kaspersky, Microsoft, and Fortinet, returned no detection. The archive has been known for 1,267 days and has 16 submissions from 15 sources.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so the archive's extracted files were not observed executing. No malicious dropped child is documented, and no malware family or confirmed hacktool label appears in the engine results. A complete host-reputation cross-check is unavailable, and MalwareBazaar and YARAify intelligence coverage was skipped.
What To Do Now
Keep endpoint protection enabled and scan the extracted files before opening them. Because the filename suggests an unofficial software-distribution source, prefer the developer's official installer and verify any extracted executable's signature before running it.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- behaviour=null, so the files inside the ZIP were not observed executing and potentially harmful behavior cannot be ruled out dynamically.
- contactedHosts=null, so no complete reputation assessment of network contacts is available.
- The communityComments[0] annotation links the hash to malware-research repositories, but supplies no family identification, detection, or behavioral finding and has zero votes.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/73 engines reported a malicious or suspicious detection
- 18/18 participating tier-1 engines returned no detection
- Known for 1,267 days without accumulating detections
- No malware-family consensus or confirmed hacktool label
- CIRCL returned no hit
- No completed runtime analysis of the extracted archive contents
- No complete contacted-host reputation cross-check
- MalwareBazaar and YARAify intelligence checks were skipped
- Filename suggests an unofficial third-party software distribution
Prefer obtaining the software directly from its official publisher. If retaining this archive, keep protection enabled and scan every extracted executable before opening it.
