  "Old Versions Good -- new is worse than a virus!"

  November 30, 2011  |   By BlackJar72

  Pros

  Zips and unzips lot of formats and is easy to use.

  Cons

  It associates itself with *.jar files (Java archives) and opens them -- these are supposed to be opened as run by the Java virtual machine as executables. Thus, it breaks Java and all Java programs!!! Worse, changing its options doesn't work -- take jar of the list, then go back, and its still / back on it! It keeps doing this and keeps breaking Java. I uninstalled it after one use.
  
  Another major problem is with the manufacturer -- they sell registrations, taking your money, but don't actually give the registration code -- thus, they steal from you, taking your money and not letting you register the software!

  Summary

  This program ruins computers -- I seriously don't see it as any better than installing a virus, since, like a virus it ruins your computers operation. Don't install this program, keep it away from your computer. And whatever you do, don't pay money for it!!!!!
  
  I give it half a star only because CNet wouldn't let me give it zero (or less).

  Are you sure the 'virus' was not already on your computer from some other source??
