Why we think so
0 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
All 66 antivirus engines that checked it returned clean results on this 2012-era Project Zomboid archive.
The file shows no malicious detections across the entire engine set and has been submitted by over 1,600 sources since 2012. Sandbox execution produced no malicious verdict. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available. No complete contacted-host reputation result was available.
What We Detected
73 engines scanned the ZIP; none flagged it malicious or suspicious.
Threat Behavior
The archive contains legitimate Project Zomboid game files. Sandbox runs show normal game-launch behaviour (rundll32 calls to bundled DLLs) and no persistence, a control server, or data-theft activity.
What To Do Now
The file can be considered safe. Extract and run only if obtained from the original game source; keep your system and antivirus definitions current as a general precaution.
