Never accept any files from anyone claiming to be a recompressor. It is more then likely a rat or some type of virus. A member on here just sent me one, but I opened it in a VM to make sure and sure enough, an error appeared, aka a false error to make it look legit.
So watch what you download, and the only legit extractor is xzip, made by the general.

Yea watch that, if there is any ZIP compressor, the chances are it's a virus and don't be stupid and run a file that is low in size and suspicious, e.g a standalone .exe file that's 195kb in size.

It's common sense, don't download and run a program that looks dodgy and the developer is not trusted.
