7-Zip 9.22 beta 64 bit and others

[JokerMan]

Hi John, definitely something not right for you.

For the record, I downloaded the 32 bit .exe version and the 64bit msi version from the link I first replied with. 1MB and 1.3MB respectively and fast with no licence or other requirements.

Slipstream called your first course of action. For what it's worth, I use Avast free version. Only because I personally use Avast do I mention it to you.

Likely you have your own anti virus solution and I encourage you seek advice if needed.

I highly recommend Slipstream's advice as your immediate course of action.

The 7-zip.org is legit and I am sure your problems are not related to that site.

All this sub-solder stuff sets off a red flag for me .

Run a full virus scan and see what you get.

Google malware and educate yourself. Stick to the better known anti-virus brands however. "Super Duper Awesome Free Malware Antivirus" advertisement from no name websites are to be treated with care. No such thing as a free dinner.

Good luck and let us know!
