Hard to say for sure, did SourceForge put malware in their installers many millennia ago?


Ah, I think I might remember a couple RCE they had... [0]

So for Windows use I then started to recommend a fork called NanaZip [1] that enabled some Windows security features (CFG, CET, Package Integrity Check...) and added support for additional formats that other forks already had [2] [3].

NanaZip also works with the Windows 11 File Explorer context menu changes.
