    I ran a scan not long ago and scan results found 7 registry keys infected and 3 file infections. One of the file infections is a program I have used for years with no problem with any scans of any type until now. Freezip.exe is the program in question. Is this a false positive or does it have something to do with tomorrow being the end of the world? :D

    Thank you.

    Probably is a false positive. One thing that I can never understand is why people put programs on their PC when there is already one that does the same thing?

    You can have a second opinion on VirusTotal. Just submit the file & let them analyse it.
