I just downloaded the .zip portable version. Then I ran the file through
Virustotal:

http://www.virustotal.com

Results were the following:

ClamAV 0.96.0.3-git 2010.05.14 PUA.Packed.ASPack
Prevx 3.0 2010.05.14 High Risk Cloaked Malware

Please notice, I'm not stating an opinion here, just stating facts.
These were the results I got. They might be false positives, I don't know.

ClamTK 0.96 - definitions 14 May 2010
and
Bit Defender AVCore 2.1 - definitions 14 May 2010
both come up clean.

Jotti comes up clean on 18 scanners and just ClamAV says PUA.Packed.ASPack

Certainly looks like a false positive

Understood - must be from us using ASPack - and we would prefer to continue
doing that...

Thanks for that, Yrrah. It certainly looks like a nice little program. I
just downloaded the .zipped portable version and ran IZArc on it.
Nothing exploded so I'd say those were false positives.
