I wanted to open UNLZEXE for windows using ZZT 3.2, the one usually seen in CloneKeen's Package, But there is new news regarding Antivirus issues regarding it was a Malwaregen, and now it is verified as a Backdoor:

Here, I use Avast

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=112244.0

Then Virustotal compared it to other AVs, I'm unsure if someone who has the code for UNLZEXE, if so, update the code to fix the issue(s) above and submit the fix!

How are ZZT 3.2 and UNLZEXE related? I don't understand what you're saying.

Unlzexe is used for decompressing the executable file. This program is ancient.

I contribute to a Wiki that deals with this sort of thing. Here's a link to their article:

It is now fixed, It is a False-Positive after all!
