Winzip Malware Protector

I downloaded this from a link on another thread ( didn't want to hijack that one). I ran the quick scan which took over 5 hours. Nineteen items were found, seventeen in the registry. When I attempted to clean them I could only do this if I upgraded to the paid version. Seems a bit of a con. I run Malawares regularly and that's not finding any items. Can anyone please advise?
Thanks
