The recent version "WinZip 25" is very slow. I'm going to switch to PeaZip/PowerArchiver/7-Zip for good! Corel need to rethink their strategy, nagscreen will eventually destroy their bussiness.

Seems to be the Malware Slammer's choice.. along with Altruistics etc. I would think they could do something about that.

There's no reason to pay for WinZip these days.

There are many alternatives.

WinZip could be a good application, if it didn't constantly pop up asking you to register and buy the application, all the while preventing you from using it after a short 'trial' period. I thought the days of trial software were over, but I guess not. Luckily, though, there are much more versatile and free alternatives, such as 7-Zip.

What is WinZip?

WinZip is a proprietary file archiver and compressor. It allows you to easily zip (compress) and unzip (decompress) files, encrypt zipped files, and email zipped files. WinZIP natively uses the ZIP and ZIPX formats but also has various levels of support for other archive formats.

With just a click, open all major compression formats, including Zip, Zipx, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZIP, VHD, XZ, POSIX TAR and more. Easily find, open, edit, move and share your files, whether they are on your computer, network or cloud service. Easily encrypt files as you zip to secure information and data. Create read-only PDFs and add watermarks to deter copying. Easily share large files by email, cloud services, social media and instant messaging. Quickly share links to your cloud files.
