Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't open or extract it until you know where it came from

If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already opened or extracted it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

That run recorded T1562.001, the archive is and all four extracted files lack individual verdicts, so execution should be deferred until the contents are verified.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The file has only 1 submission and was first observed on Aug 28, 2026, so reputation and prevalence are not yet established.
  • All four extracted children have unknown individual verdicts, limiting the reassurance provided by the absence of a known-malicious dropped file.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

  • Note: Looked through folders on the test computer (most installers do this).

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Is OpenVape-main.zip safe, or is it malware?
OpenVape-main.zip is rated Suspicious: some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. No antivirus engine flags it; the caution comes from other evidence, such as who made it, how widely it is used or what it did in a test run. Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from. If you need what's inside, download it again from the original website.
What is OpenVape-main.zip?
OpenVape-main.zip is a ZIP archive, about 8.6 kB. VirusTotal first saw it on Aug 28, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected OpenVape-main.zip?
None of the 64 antivirus engines that checked it flag OpenVape-main.zip. A clean antivirus result is not proof of safety; the caution comes from other evidence, such as who made it, how widely it is used or what it did in a test run.
I already downloaded and opened or extracted OpenVape-main.zip — what should I do?
No infection is confirmed: the rating is a caution, not a malware finding. 1) Check where it came from. If you can't confirm the source, delete it. 2) Run a full scan with your security software. 3) If the scan finds something, follow its removal steps and change passwords you typed on the device since then.
What is the SHA-256 hash of OpenVape-main.zip?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of OpenVape-main.zip is e53404624fcf458a0c3626f008048a968ebc4d193c8599052160eaba86436a0e, and its MD5 is 8af7970f30e3e2f51fec8890ba1b4f27. 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.
How up to date is this analysis of OpenVape-main.zip?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 10, 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.
