    7-Zip version 25.00 released (2025-07-05)

    - 7-Zip for Windows can now use more than 64 CPU threads for compression
    to zip/7z/xz archives and for the 7-Zip benchmark.
    If there are more than one processor group in Windows (on systems with more than
    64 cpu threads), 7-Zip distributes running CPU threads across different processor groups.

    - bzip2 compression speed was increased by 15-40%.

    - deflate (zip/gz) compression speed was increased by 1-3%.

    - improved support for zip, cpio and fat archives.

    - fixed some bugs and vulnerabilities.

    I don't like Kaspersky reporting it as malicious

    I get different results when I upload the 7-zip exe to VT. Only Bkav Pro and SecureAge flag this file as malicious, K doesn't. VT.png

    Emsisoft removed it from my machine when I went to install it. Bad reputation, sus behaviour. I already had the previous version on my machine.

    Will sort it out later.

    VirusTotal only flags it once for me by Bkav Pro with 7z2500-x64.exe, and not flagged at all with 7z2500-x64.msi.
    It's the same findings with the 32-bit versions.

    Today, Kaspersky does not report anything, I'm glad.
