If not, there's always Command Line. I've found Panther doesn't do well with passworded Zips either. There’s an app called UnRARX or something like that, handles passwords fine I believe.

Either way they are trying to make money by generating traffic to their site by distributing stolen goods that are trying to make money by selling their wares. Pretty funny. :) Yeah I should have been more clear about who I meant.
