The 7zip files are protected by a password that only the installer knows - so the Web Marshall software cannot open them to check for malware.
The network guys at work here, said do I trust the source (i.e. should they grant an exemption for the source http://installers.codegear.com.edgesuite.net/*)? So my natural questions are: 1. who is edgesuite.net ? 2. what procedures do they have in place to stop a malicious file being uploaded 3. who's reputation is going to be on the line is there is a security breach Maybe it's time for EMB to use PKI instead of security by obscurity.
