Files - Compression/Decompression (19)

It is available on main webpage.. if instead you open the sourceforge page, click "ArcThemALL! Web Page..." link in Description to move to main webpage..

Thanks, Lupo73, for that info. Looks like the download link should point to the Sourceforge link that comes from the website page.

ArcThemALL sorely lacks a critical "List" option to examine an archive contents BEFORE launching
any decompression operation.

Voted Down.

Brickbats accepted/Vote reverted in case this option were demonstrated to be available after all...;-)

Also not stealth: %TEMP%\$$$$$_SpinZip_temp

@ misan: If you klick on the little "?"-icon behind "Stealth" ...

What makes an application "stealth"?

For the purpose for this website, "stealth" means when an application is launched, used and terminated properly, it does not leave behind any entries in the registry or filesystem. Certain exceptions are permitted. For example, registry entries that are created/updated by Windows for the application (eg. MRU entries for dialog boxes, DirectX entries for DirectX-based apps), or temp files created in the official "Temp" folders are not taken into consideration. Note: "Stealth" does not mean non-traceability! In fact, it is quite unlikely you can hide your activities on a Windows machine from a capable system administrator.

There is now a "Simplyzip Portable Version" available on his page: http://www.paehl.de/Simplyzip_SFX.exe

I tested SimplyZip on www.virustotal.com
It has 34 viruse checkers. Only 2 of them said it was suspicous.

I hate false positives !

SFXMaker 1.2.1 Final was released on January 6. The previous version was RC1.

I have updated the entry. Andrew, please bump it.

Other than that, the author has bad news. :(

"Now comes the part i hate the most. About the future of this project. Pretty cloudy, i may say. Some points :
- This is the last version written in AutoIT (i may change my mind if someone will give me a good reason to continue with au3);
- I would really like to continue this project, but after a while coding the same thing becomes boring. I feel like i'm developing an application just for me, with no actual users out there. If someone sees this message and is considering that my SFXMaker development should continue, send me feedback (via e-mail most probably, forums are down), telling me why he does so.
- If, by any chance, this project will continue, i would like to set up a mini dev-team, to work for a brand new SFXMakert, written maybe in C/C++. Dunno."

I have good news: the author continues development of SFXMaker and just released SFXMaker 1.3.0 Beta yesterday! :)

1.3.0 RC1 up.

@webfork Someone ought to change at portablefreeware.com/faq.php#extract the "Universal Extractor" Link to the updated fork UniExtract2

@betsaida: I have changed the link to point to the forum topic instead.

The link to UPX Tool+ is fixed..

Just remember that programs compressed using UPX will get reported as a virus by some anti virus software.

Have to love false positives and lazy programmers.

ClamWin report "Trojan.Spy-75883 FOUND";Avira report:"TR/PSW.Agent.nup";Please check; and scan with online malware scanner almost report virus

Thats because virus-scanners are scamware. They nowadays recognize anything which MAY someway be related to malware (i.e. a trojan hiding itself via executable compression!) as virus. I had that happen recently to me with a business client - we had Imagine (image viewer) running for years, then at some day Avira decided to classify it as a trojan, because.... it was packed with a certain executable compressor.

Virus-scanners nowadays are designed for morons who are unable to make decisions based on information - they are made for clueless people who want to be told if something is "good" or "bad", NOT "perhaps" or "maybe".

nPack V2.0.100.2008 is unavailable on the original place. Download it here:

site down

The main reason you wouldn't use --lzma with UPX is for speed; NRV is faster. Although both tend to be so fast it doesn't matter, the size difference also usually doesn't matter.

I quite like its simplicity though it could do with some sort of progress meter.

I could not download this from the homepage, I could not even find a valid link there, nor a listing for v2.90

I was always redirected to the homepage, it may be necessary to join the forum to download.

I found something interesting though and the link is below.
