Integrity and signatures

Prefer the exact filename for your platform. Windows x64 builds are commonly distributed as an EXE installer around 104 MB. When your hosting provides SHA-256 hashes or code signatures, compare them before running the file.

Source code transparency is part of the AGPL open-source model. You can review how the client behaves without trusting a closed binary alone. See trust and security.

Antivirus false positives

New or rarely downloaded installers may be quarantined before reputation catches up. Independent scans of Zotero Windows packages have reported clean results (virus, spyware, and malware free). If a scanner alerts, verify version, size, and publisher, then follow the antivirus guide.
