7-Zip 26.04 for Windows x64 is the open-source archive utility listed by the project on October 5, 2026. This catalog serves the unchanged official installer from our file host; it is not a repack or a third-party wrapper.
VirusTotal result: 1 of 62 vendors flagged this file
SecureAge labels it malicious; the other 61 vendors did not flag it in this report. This is not a clean bill of health, and we cannot determine from the report alone whether the detection is a false positive. Review the full VirusTotal report before deciding whether to download.
Report checked October 15, 2026. The SHA-256 below matches the digest published for the official GitHub release asset. VirusTotal results are a point-in-time screening signal, not a safety guarantee.

What 7-Zip can—and cannot—do
7-Zip creates 7z, ZIP, TAR and other archive formats, and can unpack several additional types, including RAR. It does not create RAR archives. It supports AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP archives, but encryption still depends on a strong passphrase and safe recovery practices.
What the scan result means
Multi-engine services can disagree. A 1/62 result may warrant additional investigation, but it is not proof by itself that the file is malicious—or proof that it is safe. Because SecureAge currently flags this exact hash and the installer is unsigned, we display the warning plainly rather than calling the download clean. If that signal is not acceptable to you, do not install it; you can compare the official release notes and digest before making your own decision.
License and redistribution
The project says 7-Zip may be used without registration or payment, including in commercial organizations. Its license page describes the separate terms for the included components. We include the project’s license text alongside this unmodified binary; read it before redistributing the program or building on its code.
