May not necessarily be an issue with 7-Zip-zstd, but downloading 7z21.02-zstd-x64.exe on my Win10 PC with Panda Security automatically flags the .exe as a virus (W32/Exploit.gen). Downloaded the same file a couple years back with no issues so potentially a false positive with Panda? Figured knowing your .exe is being flagged as malicious by some anti-viruses would be helpful info to pass along.

Probably you should notify Panda support about that

Fair point. Still wanted to bring up the potential issue for others downloading and getting similar issues with the auto-quarantine.

Antivirus programs are snakeoil .... thats my only comment on this issue.
I am not willing to notice them for their failures ;)
