1440968 2017-10-20 22:42:00 What is the simplest free Win Zip program out there?
Just want to unzip a DayOne file.
Thanks

1440969 2017-10-20 22:56:00 You should be able to open a zip file natively within Windows File Explorer without having to download a zip application but you can get 7zip free here (http://www.7-zip.org/) chiefnz (545)
1440970 2017-10-21 01:03:00 Thanks and installed 7 Zip and that sorted it. stuffed (1469)
1440971 2017-10-23 01:16:00 I too have used 7 Zip for many years and find it very satisfactory Neil F (14248)
1440972 2017-10-23 10:15:00 Nothing wrong with Zip or Winzip but I use WinRAR myself. I find it has a better compression ratio for zip files and making self-extractors allows for various options etc.

$30 well spent for a perpetual license.

Winzip is no longer the program we all used to love
NOD32 will now often flag it as a PUP . Filled with bloatware & addons I guess
