Watch out for WinZix too. After downloading a file and extracting it from multiple rar files it pops up with a zix file, a read me and whatever info file they wish to include. If you read the read me, it says that the group/person they are claiming to be have switched to a new more powerful compression system and that you have to download it.
After downloading there new wonderful system, you start installing it. Everything seems normal until you get to the "agree" screen, which most people ignore and lick agree on. But if stop and read the very top of the screen it says that it will be installing 3rd party advertising software.
Well i stopped as soon as i saw that and before i was able to click cancel my anti-virus warned me about a virus that was attempting to install. It healed it but i was afraid it had installed some other software i didnt want. So after hours of cleaning i am going out of my way to spread the word to everybody. WinZix is a scam, do not fall for it!
