PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.
Kaspersky detecting PABackup as Trojan
-
Kaspersky is detecting PABackup.exe as Trojan: trojan.win32.refroso.anzj. I have latest versions of it. Is anyone else seeing this?
-
I couldn’t pick up any problems with it using latest NOD32 v4.0
false reading surely ?
the team here would never let such a thing through…:) -

You can see at VirusTotal that KAV is only one:

Interesting. I’ll submit it to KAV.

Zone Alarm Extreme Security is giving me the same notice: trojan.win32.refroso.anzj

Kaspersky responded, they will fix the issue/false positive in next update.

in general, all of our executables are signed by verisign digital signature and as long as they are not broken (you can check in properties), executables have not been modified…
-
it seems there was some virus release which uses same protection as we do, so while Kaspersky fixed their false positive, now Avira and few others have it.
You can imagine how nice that makes me feel ;-).

Not supprised ZoneAlarm use the Kaspersky Engine…
Norton Internet Security 2010 doesnt pick up any threat… Nor does Avast 5.
-
they all fixed it over past few days… until next time ;-)
