I've been reading about the problems and rumors surrounding PKZip 2.04 and PKZip 3.05. Some say they have viruses, some have said there is a trojan in it, and so on. My question is this: I've had PK 1.1 for two years now. There have been no problems with it. Why, in light of all problems and rumors flying around, would anyone consider abandoning the old and trusty version for one which may be bad? Even if the new versions were clean, the peace of mind I'd lose while running it wouldbe rather significant. What wonderful new advances are in the newer versions (1.93, 2.04, 3.05) of PKZip? Better compression, perhaps? How much better? Or is it just a desire to have the "latest release" regardless of its impact (or potential impact)? I'm confused.
