The RTGUI executable is packed using ALZIP, not ASPack. There are no
security problems with ALZIP. It's available from TUCOWS (which gives
all its software a very careful checking), and they give it a 3-cow
rating.

It sounds like this "GFI Download Security" software has some problems.
First, it cannot distinguish ALZIP from ASPack, and second, it assumes
that because some invalid software is compacted using ASPack, therefore
all software using that tool is malicious.

Download the program (www.rtgui.com) onto a computer that uses a more
reasonable security protection.
