Well giving/comparing the MD5 of the zip is not really appropriate. It's the uncompressed content that counts.

Modified doesn't means bad.
What I did is this:
upx -d "Windows Loader.exe"
Just unpacked the DAZ loader.
That triggered the selfcheck:

Code:

323C0FD51071400B51EEDB1BE90A8188 MD5 of original Windows Loader.exe with UPX
F5E1313C8EA41AC4E9379B9602B30A73 MD5 of unpacked Windows Loader.exe without UPX

However it's still working well.

Reasons for removing UPX:

• Upxed file got blacklisted in many AV's and filehoster - unpacked it might slip thought the one or other simple check
• More transparency - well I don't really like packed binaries. New stuff I used to do a quick manually scroll scan with the viewer of the Total Commander.
  And there packed stuff(high entropy data) - is always suspicious.
• Quicker execution - especially when appling LZMA there'll be a slight delay when you start the exe
• Better compression ratio when putting it into some zip/7z/rar. That's because already compressed data can't be compressed anymore - sometimes it'll get even slightly bigger when apply compression to it
  

But well I'll update the MD5 inside "Windows Loader.exe" so that integrity check will work again
