Is vddk_8_0.zip safe?

Verdict
Safe

No engine detected malware in this ZIP, and external intelligence found no corroboration, though its very recent appearance and unexamined runtime behavior limit certainty.

All 75 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 high-trust engines reporting no detection. The archive is newly observed and contains executable content, so obtain it from the expected vendor channel and inspect extracted files before running them.

Open or extract with normal care

Use the archive only if it came from the expected vendor channel, and scan each extracted executable before running it. Keep endpoint protection enabled.

Analyst conclusion

All 75 antivirus engines returned without a malicious or suspicious detection, including 17 high-trust engines reporting no detection. The archive is newly observed and contains executable content, so obtain it from the expected vendor channel and inspect extracted files before running them.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The archive is newly observed and has only one submission, so its current lack of detections is not backed by established prevalence.
  • file.tags includes 'contains-pe', while signing.applicable=false applies only to the outer ZIP; the payload provides no child-file signature assessment.
  • behaviour=null and contactedHosts=null leave runtime activity and contacted-host reputation unverified.

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 archive only if it came from the expected vendor channel, and scan each extracted executable before running it. Keep endpoint protection enabled.

6 evidence-based answers
Is vddk_8_0.zip safe?
Evidence-based answer
vddk_8_0.zip appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. Open or extract it only when its sender or download source has been independently verified.
What is vddk_8_0.zip?
Evidence-based answer
vddk_8_0.zip is a compressed archive (application/x-zip-compressed), about 23.6 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected vddk_8_0.zip?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged vddk_8_0.zip. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
What is the SHA-256 hash of vddk_8_0.zip?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of vddk_8_0.zip is 946d6420e21b3af1f16eaccaf9b9ce613db4670267ecbe19aa5472bef7d923b1, and its MD5 is 6746a73171d031f1b4a8ce1ec3690a80. 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 open or extract vddk_8_0.zip?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, vddk_8_0.zip has a low observed risk. 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 vddk_8_0.zip?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 30, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of vddk_8_0.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.
