Re-Upped
I'd noticed that, too. I just re-uploaded and redid the release. Hopefully that will kick the lagging mirrors into updating. It may take a few minutes from now.

Totengeist - March 13, 2008 - 3:45pmI noticed that the URL on the download page points to PeaZip_Portable_1.11.paf.exe on SourceForge, which does not work.
After browsing all files, I noticed that PeaZip_Portable_1.11_en-us.paf.exe is the filename that is listed on SourceForge for PeaZip Portable. (Notice the 'en-us'.) Could this be the problem everyone is having?
Ummm
Ummm... it's suddenly working. And I so totally didn't mess up the download link on the app page like an idiot... at all.

False positive
giorgiotani (Homepage) - March 14, 2008 - 11:18amI had in past months some false positives due to lpaq executables which are compressed by upack.
It is relatively new and some antivirus programs, not knowing its compression tecniques, mistakes upack-compressed executables with malware.
Moreover on some of those AV sites the Matt Mahoney's "Data Compression Programs" page (linking lpaq executables), which is one of most authoritative sources about compression topics, was listed as "suspicious" for the same reason...
The issue were discussed in PeaZip's tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1827450&group_i...
and:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1827878&group_i...
Can you confirm if the current issue is related to the same upack-compressed lpaq files or if it does need some further attention?
As of 11:00am Chicago Time
As of 11:00am Chicago Time no change in the situation has occurred.
ClamWin has updated several times and is still showing the warning. I requested to be informed when the investigation was complete one way or another. I have heard nothing yet.
This is really all I know.
What part of the "package" [installer/program itself] it is having problems with I do not know.
I can confirm nothing as the ins and outs of this stuff are beyond me.
Tim
"The Wheels of John grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small"
Fixed
ClamWin's current definition set (dated 2:12pm March 14, 2008) does not flag the PeaZip Portable installer or the files once installed to a drive as infected.

NOT CONFIRMED
Repeat, I cannot confirm this at 2:55pm Chicago Time.

I think I know the reason why, you won't like it, but let me investigate further.
Tim
"The Wheels of John grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small"
Main / Daily
I'm using Main 45 / Daily 6234. Both the installer and the installed app come back as clean.

Advanced Setting
John,
Try this in CWP
Tools->Preferences->Advanced TAB
check Detect Potentially Unwanted Applications
It still shows up
This is what the "PUA" stands for in "PUA.Packed.UPack-2" FOUND
This is the setting that is used by ClamAV at Jotti and VirusTotal.
I suspect that it will still show up at the sites tomorrow after they update as long as it is showing up in mine with that setting turn on.
I said you wouldn't like it
Tim
"The Wheels of John grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small"
Ah
Well, one would assume any user that goes into 'Advanced' and checks off 'Potentionally Unwanted Applications' would know they're gonna get false positives essentially by design, right?
I'd be willing to guess that if the ClamAV team deems Ipaq potentionally unwanted, they're just gonna call it that.
Live with purpose.
Ah Yes
But I am the tester of course, and I am aware of these things.
The problem is, in this case, not CWP itself with its' default settings. It is ClamAV as implemented at the sites.
I have my CWP set that way on purpose, otherwise the site would say "bad" and my CWP would say "good", and I would be very confused
Let's hope the fix it soon.
So you think it is the "Ipaq" that is causing the problem?
By the way as of 3:34 at Jotti
ArcaVir Found Heur.Win32.I
CPsecure Found W32.Email.W.Zhelatin.vi
STILL
as well as ClamAV at both Jotti and VirusTotal
I just don't like it being detected by 3 different programs at the same time, it's sure to make the uninformed go "Ah Hah!!!"
Tim
"The Wheels of John grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small"
It is
I unpacked it and it was the file lpaq5.exe it complained about. And there are multiple false positives on it. I think I counted 8 that say 'suspicious file' or something similar. Apparently, Ipaq is a popular packaging format for malware so the packer itself (although open source and clean) has been tagged as bad.

lpaq false positive
giorgiotani (Homepage) - March 14, 2008 - 7:01pmIn next PeaZip update I'll recompile lpaq from sources and compress it with good old UPX, to stop this recurring false poritive issue. Simpler and better than keep up informing AV team of the issue at each release.
It just seem some heuristic scanners don't like the structure of executables compressed with upack (any executable, not only lpaq), while they generally likes UPXed ones.
And I'm afraid of that, because upack too is a good executable compressor which should worth more attention.
Upack not GPL compatible
Since Ipaq is GPLed, you can't legally pack it with Upack as Upack isn't GPL compatible (it's closed source freeware). Unless the copyright holder packs it, of course. In which case the resulting binary is no longer GPLed... it's freeware... and can't be hosted on SourceForge. I'd suggest getting a release out soon to fix this.

Update
giorgiotani (Homepage) - March 14, 2008 - 8:15pmLpaq1 and Lpaq5 were compressed with Upack from the creators Mahoney and Ratushnyak, see:
http://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/#lpaq
btw, the note in Lpaq8 paragraph talks about this very same issue of false positive for Upack compressed executables; from this point they took my same decision of stay with UPX for compressing the executables.
Anyway, as said in previous post I recompiled Lpaq1 and Lpaq5 from sources and compressed them with UPX, and I just finished publishing up to date packages of PeaZip and PeaZip Portable for Windows, 1.11b (linked in homepage).
The only difference between 1.11 and 1.11b is the replacement of Lpaq1 and Lpaq5 executables, so no more Upack compressed executables are featured in PeaZip's packages and no more false positives should occour.
Ok
I'll let Zach update his package and send it on unless he just wants me to post it this weekend.

It's ready
ZachHudock - March 16, 2008 - 9:34pmGot the package updated, here's a link to it on my page under Patrick's hosting.

Got it
I'll digitally sign it and post it with an announcement tomorrow morning. If you want to add anything custom to the announcement, just ping me via email.
One note for the future: Host it and hit me via email so we don't have someone else accidentally download this update and end up with it on Softpedia or something else. It would be confusing for there to be one digitally signed one and one not signed with different MD5s floating around.
Live with purpose.
Thanks. I'll send it along

LOL peazip needs some
LOGAN-Portable (Homepage) - March 13, 2008 - 4:31pmLOL peazip needs some getting used to... I extracted something to a previous folder and it renamed every file that was present.
(I wish it asked if I needed overwrite for the files...)
Got some major cleaning up to do now
This sounds great!
eltonbrad (Homepage) - March 13, 2008 - 4:54pmWow! This really does sound so great! I got a little confused with 7Zip, so maybe I'll like this one better. I'll go and download it now!

John - thanks for all the wonderful work! Please create a forum for PeaZip so bugs can be reported. I played with RAR containing some names with non-ASCII chars (cyrillic, in my case) and PeaZip shows '?' instead of these chars.

non ASCII chars
giorgiotani (Homepage) - March 15, 2008 - 4:59amHi, unfortunately Lazarus IDE I use to develope PeaZip still not supports UTF-8 encoding for GUI objects in Windows, so localization and support for extended character is still trublesome and I used replacement with jolly character "?" as temporary workaround (? stands for replacement with a single jolly character both in Unix and Windows shell).
This is a hot topic both in PeaZip and Lazarus development, so I'll keep actively observed evolution of this issue to provide full internationalization support.
Anyway, if your archive contains objects with names with extended characters, you can perform "Extract all" with no concerns about filenames.
About reporting issues, requests and feedback about PeaZip you can use official application's forums:
