This file 7z920.exe just appeared on my PC a couple of days ago. it looks like it may be an open surce software for compressing files, but I did not ask for this or download it. One website - remove online.com says it's a malicious virus that can make your computer unusable. Other old comments say it's just a file compression software from source forge. HerdProtect.com says it was not detected by most malware cloud scanning engines.
i would like to remove it but don't know how. it does not show up in programs under control panel, though it does show up in here: c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\windows\start menu\programs. I could open it and use it I think, but do not trust it. your thoughts?

@kay: I think the 7z920.exe file is safe. Maybe it was installed with some other software that uses it as a compression tool. You can check file modification dates to see if something else was installed at the same time.

I can clarify: It is the update 9.20 (2010-11-18) for the compression tool 7zip.

See the homepage 7-zip.org for more details.
