@kopflast:

The whole ZIP is not PW-protected, only the .EXE file inside the .ZIP it is (for example the .NFO inside the .ZIP, it is not), for to avoid false-positives by website-malware-scan-bots (i got many false-positive abuse mails due to such false-positives in the past already), by snake oil AV-software (which had blacklisted some of my domains on the User systems due to false-positives), etc.

So think first and then complain (and then only if it is justified). In this case you should be rather upset about the whole snake-oil industry and about the countless website-malware-scan-bot-operators, which send out countless abuse mails (which are in my case always false positives), instead about a PW-protected .EXE file inside a .ZIP file.

@chico72:

The .EXE inside ZIP is password-protected for to avoid automatic scans from snail-oil software (also known as anti virus software) for to avoid false-positives. And the password (which is dtv8uc8) for it is in the non-password-protected .NFO file inside the ZIP file, or here at pouet top right at the nfo link.

So if your archive software doesn't support ZIP files with only partly password-protected content (so when your archive software does handle such ZIP files wrongly as ZIP files with whole completely password-protected content), then you should think about a switch from your current archive software to a different archive software, which have no problems with so such ZIP files with only partly password-protected content.
