[BeanCounter]

Attempts to download the latest version of Winzip from:

http://www.winzip.com/tmm-update.htm

are blocked by NOD32 BE 4.2.76.0 (signature 7096) for multiple unspecified reasons.

Hey BeanCounter
Eset blocks the download because it detects potentially unwanted programs, (A potentially unwanted application is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars or has other unclear objectives) I have taken some screen captures of the programs Eset detects in the download.

Kaspersky Security scan - Win32/Fake AV. 100%! ;D :)

Thanks. It would have been nice if NOD32 had provided some more detail on why the download was blocked

Details would be nice but I doubt they will be added any time soon. The complexity of doing so would probably cause more problems that it solved. I vote for it if it is reasonable to do so.

As far as WinZip is concerned, I am really unhappy with this. I bought a "lifetime" license 15 years ago and then the company changed hands. Now it's an annual subscription. As if that wasn't bad enough, they add crapware to the installer. I could understand if it were freeware. But it isn't. >:(

Hello,

When ESET's software is configured to detect potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), it typically does identify the exact PUA found when scanning a file. However, if the file contains several different PUAs it will just report that multiple items were found, since the user interface does not currently have the ability to display a list of all of the detected objects.

The detection is correct. The package contains 2 applications classified as potentially unwanted and the classification is correct. It's not FP.
