Hi,
Some two years go Archivarius 3000 was discussed here vs. DtSearch. I have chosen the former, first, because of its constant development, i.e. adding new file formats, second because of its price. Today I wanted to downloaded new version. I didn?t have the bookmark so I tried to google it but suddenly got a message from Google saying that this was dangerous site, having ?Malicious software includes 18 trojan(s).? Has anybody experienced any such thing with the program or the site [www.likasoft.com]?
And another question. Do you know, by chance, whether Archivarius work fine on Windows 7 64 bit? Or could you, possibly, suggest another solution?
Thanks,
Wojciech

No problems with the site at this point as far as I can tell; I entered it with both Opera and Internet Explorer equiped with ZoneAlarm Browser Security.
Firefox gave a warning based on the following page which mentions potential problems in the past:
http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en-US&site=http://www.likasoft.com/
The information reads to me ambiguous enough to give Likasoft and its brilliant developer the benefit of the doubt:
“Over the past 90 days, likasoft.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.”
“Yes, this site has hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.”
“In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.”
As for the program, I can’t recommend it enough; it’s set to become an unmatched passe-partout for file indexing.
You can download Archivarius directly from the links below, ideally with an FTP program, thereby avoiding running any HTML code:
Version type: All languages
File size: 5 MB (9 minutes at 56 kbit/s)

Version type: English only
File size: 4 MB (7 minutes at 56 kbit/s)

Wojciech,
I received the same Google/Firefox warnings some time ago when I wanted to investigate Archivarius’s ability to index and search Zoot 5’s databases, and display the search results properly. (If I recall correctly, dtSearch can index and search Zoot 5’s files, but the search results are not displayed very well. Best results are only obtained if the Zoot 5 database files are first exported as a huge html file and then indexed and searched. Naturally, this is a royal pain to do if one uses Zoot intensively….)
Since I took heed of the warnings and did not investigate further, perhaps Archivarius’s developer should be made aware of these problems with access to his website. I can’t think of anything morel likely to scare off potential customers.
In the event, Zoot 6 has changed the form of its databases and they can now be indexed and searched, and the results displayed very well in dtSearch - without any prior database file conversion. For me this was another reason both for keeping on with dtSearch and moving over to Zoot 6.
