A powerful ZIP file processor with repair capabilities and user-friendly interface.
When running the .exe file for the first time, Windows Defender or other antivirus software may flag it as potentially unsafe. This is a common occurrence with executables created via PyInstaller, especially for smaller developers without a verified code-signing certificate.
Antivirus software sometimes misidentifies unsigned applications or compressed executables as threats due to their structure. Rest assured, ZIPHero is safe to use and contains no malicious code.
Allow the application through your antivirus software. If you're still concerned, review the source code (available on GitHub) and compile it yourself.
