Quoth Nico E De Vries regarding *** WARNING *** PKZIP 2.0 on 01-06-93:

NE>According to warning messages on wuarchive.wustl.edu the PKZIP 2.04c
NE>is a virus infected version. The virus detected is the "Maltese Amoeba
NE>one.

PKWare says that this is the legitimate release, and it is not infected.

The reports are coming from people using older versions of Norton 
Antivirus.  Later versions report (correctly) no virus.

While PKZip 2.04c may have a lot of problems (typical of Phil Katz, he 
released it with a bunch of power user options [DPMI, XMS, EMS all enabled 
unless you turn them off using obscure switches] defaulting to on, so that 
it is likely to crash Windows 3.1 and OS/2 DOS boxes) it is not infected 
by any virus.

Yet.
