The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

This is the official setup executable for Zemana AntiMalware, a reputable security product. Minor flags from engines like DrWeb arise from its use of kernel drivers and protective techniques, which often trigger heuristics. No malicious behavior or payloads detected in our analysis.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • DrWeb major 'Tool.VulnDriver.18' flags vulnerable driver load, legitimate for kernel-mode security tools but can mimic hacktools.
  • YARAify rules 'shellcode'/'Suspicious_Macro_Presence' fired, generic matches not specific to malware.
  • CommunityComments include #malware tags and threat scores 8/10, but zero votes and tria.ge links show no confirmed threats.

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 7 questions people ask most about this file.

Is Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe safe?
We found nothing harmful in Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe. 5 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it; after weighing the other evidence we treat those alerts as false alarms. It has a valid digital signature from Zemana D.O.O. Sarajevo. Install it only if it came from the developer's own website or an official app store.
What is Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe?
Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe is a software installer, about 13.9 MB. It carries no version information saying what it is or who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Mar 31, 2021.
How many antivirus engines detected Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe?
5 of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe, including Dr.Web and Google. We weigh which engines flagged it and what else the scan found, not just the count.
Is Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe digitally signed?
Yes. Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe has a valid digital signature from Zemana D.O.O. Sarajevo, which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe is b548f01428cb26a5870602e8018adbce814dd2ed53a6b1f74c3b3b7bf23fa965, and its MD5 is 048ea3233e0e7611ab414684583c1421. 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 install Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe?
We found nothing harmful in Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe, and its digital signature checks out. 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 Zemana.AntiMalware.Setup.exe?
This report reflects the scan on May 2, 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.
