Is hsp351.zip safe?

Verdict
Malicious

Two tier-1 engines identify keygen or patcher functionality, including a confirmed hacktool label, although runtime and host-reputation evidence are unavailable.

Five of 75 engines flagged this archive, with Fortinet and Ikarus independently identifying keygen, riskware, or patcher functionality. The corroborated hacktool designation is decisive under the safety policy, despite several established engines reporting no detection and no completed sandbox run.

Do not open or extract this archive

Quarantine or delete the archive and obtain the software from an official, licensed source. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled, and avoid running key generators or patchers.

Analyst conclusion

Five of 75 engines flagged this archive, with Fortinet and Ikarus independently identifying keygen, riskware, or patcher functionality. The corroborated hacktool designation is decisive under the safety policy, despite several established engines reporting no detection and no completed sandbox run.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Only 5/75 engines detected the sample, while 11 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
  • externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=0, externalIntel.malwareBazaar.hit=false, and externalIntel.circl.hit=false provide no researcher-intelligence corroboration.
  • The sample has medium prevalence with prevalence.uniqueSources=77 and has been known for 1,811 days, rather than being newly observed.

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

Quarantine or delete the archive and obtain the software from an official, licensed source. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled, and avoid running key generators or patchers.

Threat context

How hacktools are abused

This is a hacking or cracking tool — the kind used to bypass software licences, generate fake keys, or attack other systems. Even when the tool 'works', these downloads very often carry hidden malware.

Bottom line:Running one means trusting an anonymous author with full access to your PC — rarely worth the risk.

Is hsp351.zip malware?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — hsp351.zip is malicious. Do not open or extract it. Delete this archive from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 5 of 75 antivirus engines flag it (family: Keygen). It behaves as a hacktool — dual-use offensive tooling that is dangerous regardless of intent. If you've already opened or extracted it, see the removal and recovery steps below.
What is hsp351.zip?
Evidence-based answer
hsp351.zip is a compressed archive, about 63.4 MB. Our analysis identifies it as malicious (family: Keygen) — a hacktool — dual-use offensive tooling that is dangerous regardless of intent. Because a file's name and icon can be faked, the safest way to identify it is by its cryptographic hash (below), not its filename.
How many antivirus engines detected hsp351.zip?
Evidence-based answer
5 of 75 antivirus engines flagged hsp351.zip, 5 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence. The malicious verdict comes from the complete saved evidence, not from this antivirus count by itself.
I already downloaded and opened or extracted hsp351.zip — what should I do?
Evidence-based answer
Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.
How do I remove hsp351.zip?
Evidence-based answer
To remove hsp351.zip: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Delete this archive from the device, then empty the Recycle Bin or Trash. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.
What kind of malware is hsp351.zip?
Evidence-based answer
hsp351.zip is classified as a hacktool — dual-use offensive tooling that is dangerous regardless of intent. Engines attribute it to the Keygen family. Knowing the family matters because it tells you the likely impact — data theft, remote control, file encryption, or unwanted ads — and guides the cleanup.
What is the SHA-256 hash of hsp351.zip?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of hsp351.zip is 7dfcac70c0e586acd45aad830f699c13d23c056708b17e6501f34db48f728b65, and its MD5 is 8c6cf4c38e47d0d85c98e3efb5f9e269. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of hsp351.zip?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 23, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of hsp351.zip 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.
