Is Emerald Rogue EX v2.0.1a.zip safe?
No antivirus engine detected a threat in this established ZIP archive, although its enclosed files were not observed running in a sandbox.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. The archive has also circulated for over two years across 59 sources, but no runtime analysis or complete network-reputation check is available.

The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 74 antivirus engines returned no malicious or suspicious detection, including 16 tier-1 engines reporting no detection. The archive has also circulated for over two years across 59 sources, but no runtime analysis or complete network-reputation check is available.
The strongest evidence is complete agreement across the antivirus network: 0 of 74 engines flagged the archive. Sixteen tier-1 engines reported no detection, including Microsoft, Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, and Avast. The hash is more than two years old and has appeared from 59 sources, which reduces concern that it is an untested recent upload. MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, and YARAify supplied no corroborating threat intelligence. Runtime behavior was not observed, and no complete contacted-host reputation result is available, so the assessment is based primarily on static scanning and prevalence.
What We Detected
None of 74 antivirus engines marked the ZIP as malicious or suspicious. Sixteen tier-1 engines reported no detection, and there was no family consensus, hacktool label, brand mismatch, or triggered heuristic.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so execution behavior of files inside the archive was not observed. The contacted-host cross-check was also unavailable; therefore, no conclusion about network activity can be drawn. Independent checks found no MalwareBazaar entry, CIRCL match, or YARAify rule hit.
What To Do Now
The evidence supports ordinary use if the archive came from the expected project or distribution channel. Keep endpoint protection enabled, extract it cautiously, and rescan any executable contents before launching them.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- behaviour=null, so the archive and any enclosed programs were not observed executing.
- contactedHosts=null, so no complete contacted-host reputation cross-check is available.
- signing.applicable=false for this ZIP, leaving no publisher identity or signer history to authenticate its contents.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- 0/74 engines reported a malicious or suspicious result.
- 16 tier-1 engines reported no detection.
- Observed for 804 days across 59 unique sources.
- No MalwareBazaar, CIRCL, or YARAify hit.
- No triggered heuristics or brand mismatch.
- No completed runtime observation is available for files inside the archive.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
- ZIP signing is not applicable, so publisher authenticity is not established.
Use the archive only if it came from the expected source, and scan extracted executables before running them. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled.
