Yesterday i tried to install winzip program and downloaded install file winzip21-home.exe from official site http://winzip.com/win/en/index.htm via “Try it free button”. Installation process went ok, but i couldnt find winzip program. So i checked downloaded file and find that i downloaded it from site winzipmain.com and not winzip.com. I had avast installed and it did not blocked the download link nor the file itself, afterward i ran avast scan but it didn’t find anything worrying. Could you tell me if that is really winzip installation file and my system is not compromised? Thanks.

Download link, that I used:

Seems like a false positive

I think that winzip.com was hacked.
Now button “Try it for free Win 10/8/7/Vista” from winzip.com links to http://www.winzipsoftware.com/1ycak9cJzsDvQGQfRljmYKl8Xb+JKsVAaCU7wh7KttIaORSF3+qPBDLgfUY5gHVaR0aF21LIApB+xNMGsJ1EQFof3zg0hLBts38GWzqAFi8y3fy8MFD0SxGe5a63CsTK8Bu241QpYjFtI11sQ5TRJ8wxkpQ2QvwM32Z+R_ry_E8yKauFPbpGSPAT8LECbImfnOy71eJ8vzInOeBX5zenrX6vY5GToMwKQDqo4N1W0IJKOTucUD1nXImg_JscPiUnPOW8p+XCbRnoIoCrHzHXGazSyqIfuo3VT5EuLRRXUXZAF57_25a0JqZQb_VJJOSbcvzHYpts1NpfPtOgfkYYoac35ExzjnqMgVLhAnLzDJ44mdwV92q7JEW3ZqY8DYPvAZPvW4XV7wg+HPeqRegGlgU9YONC0w==-GzMAAERveF6I85dEy0dgAw6cSuAF12Fj7ByHIES8saLlTXxO0kULqiG4pjSK+Dk=

And the link changes every time you enter the winzip.com site.
