Conflow Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 WARNING FREEBIE ZIPPER PROGRAMSTo:- Photomom, Granot, and Readers -Following on from a thread 'EMailing EXE.Zip Files' - I hate to be the one to throw cold water on the notion of Freebie Zipper programs. There are many such programs on the Web such as the likes of:- ZipIt, FreeZip, ZipNow...I am not singling out any one in particular but i am warning Forum Readers NOT TO DOWNLOAD any such utility unless you know for a fact that the program is above board. There are many which 'auto-associate' their Program with EVERY FILE ON YOUR PC and also invade your Browser. These programs seriously interfer with your File Management System and with other on-board Windows Utilities such as any generic UnZipper, Adobe PDF Reader, and any Photo-Graphics Program capable of compressing Files such as Photoshop.They rarely have an 'Uninstaller' and try removing them manually,impossible.......May I suggest a Program which we have used for years, its from Bulgaria, and the owners are into Shareware & Professional Software for larger clients but their program 'Big-Speed Zipper' is Free/Trial for personal usage. It's very much like PTE in Interface. available from:- www.bigspeed.net...Their Website is well worth a visit.Brian.Conflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Why not just get the original zip program written by Paul Katz (PKZip)? It's $29 and still the best there is in my experience:http://www.pkware.com/Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
