I have received word from a reliable source that there is now a PKWare ZIP authentication varification (-AV) cracker going around called MAKEAV. It will generate registration numbers so that people can create their own serialized ZIPs. MAKEAV was apparently used to make the bogus SCANV78.ZIP which was warned about in a recent posting by McAfee Associates. PKWare has been notified.
