I make a 7zip archive for test with tihs command:
7z.exe a -r -ms=off -p prova.7z .\prova\*

I give my password and then I try to extract files from
7zip archive with Zipgenius (http://www.zipgenius.it/) v.
5.5.1.468. It prompt for password, but if I put a wrong
one, it exctract the file!!

    7zip password protection is futile with UltimateZip, too.

    Err, sorry, I was wrong. With 4.15 beta, a password _does_
    protect the archive content from getting extracted with
    UltimateZip. :/

    Sorry again to have bothered you.

    But the file zipgenius extarcts is probabaly not the real
    file, but some garbage, isn't it ?
