Google says that Haozip is malware

[Makarboy]

Hi, I wanted to try Haozip, ad when I try to download Google chrome blocks the download and classifies it as malware, is it a false positive? or haozip is like utorrent? bundle adware and spy stuff?

Google flagged SumatraPDF as malware. It's a FP,HaoZip is one of the best tools out there.

Yours is 64 Bits.
Mine is 32 Bits.

Strange 64 Bits Chrome is not giving malicious download for Haozip but 32 Bits is giving malicious download?

Av Gurus,
I noticed in your download you have tried to download from Softpedia.

The detection we are getting is on the download from official site.

Not the first time, I have recently had FP with Slimjet download, Google phishing and malware warnings are going haywire all around.
