Good Question.. The reason is very simple it is an additional layer of security.

Many Antivirus do Check Zip, rar and bin files but this isn’t a guaranteed level of security. In order to fully verify there is a threat you must open the Archive 1st and this is where PowerArchiver's Security comes in to play.

This is why it is so appealing to users and Admin if PA were to automatically detect your Antivirus & Spyware software and it was to Integrate it so every Archive were checked in depth within a "sandbox environment" it would be a very powerful method of protection.
