Scenario

You experience security alerts caused by 7-Zip files residing in your Paragon program’s folder branch.

Reason

Several customers reported to experience security alerts caused by 7-Zip files residing in our program’s folder branch.
The program 7-Zip is one of the most widely-used packer programs and not unsecure.
This component is used in RMB3. It is required for the creation of recovery media with the Linux environment.
The version o 7-Zip that comes with or software is quite old. It is version 9.20 while the most recent version of 7-Zip is 16.02 at this moment. This is presumably the reason for the security alert.

Solution 1

As long as you only create WinPE based media you may easily delete the two 7-Zip files.

Solution 2

Replace the files with version 16.02.

Solution 3

Replace the files with newest version.

The most recent version of 7-Zip is available on http://www.7-zip.org/. Download the appropriate version for your operating system. This .EXE file is a self-extracting archive with installer functionality. To avoid the installation, right-click on the file and use your installed packer utility to extract it to a place of your choice. Then move/copy the files 7z.exe and 7z.dll to the program folder of the Recovery Media Builder. You may want to delete the extracted archive now.

The creation of a Linux Rescue Environment will continue to work successfully and you will not be alerted anymore by your security software.
