    Hi,
    I,m not sure where to place trojan alerts, but I downloaded Zipitfree the other day on Majorgeeks and both AVG and Spybot S+D caught a trojan downloader during program setup. I think this program should be checked out. Thanks. :wave

    Im not aware there is a trojan in it, but I do know that the owners decided to remove it from the website recently. :)

    Thanks for the responses and I'm glad the program was removed so others do not have the same problem I had. Also I have heard that a lot of key generator sites could have nasties. My relative showed me how he tests his online protection once and after going to only two key generator websites his protection had caught something and prevented it.
    I have always enjoyed MG and always highly recommend it. This is my first post, after finally joining, and just wanted to warn about a possible problem in a program.:major
