ExtractNow could use a bit of sprucing up. The dead-simple and cheetah-quick installation brings you to an expanse of white that sits on top of four buttons. That's it. It's not an interface that sells the feature set, but it's the feature set that users will be most interested in.
The program should appeal to users who handle a high volume of archives, because all it does is extract archive contents. The four buttons--Settings, History, Clear, and Extract--lay out the basics. Click Settings and a window pops up to entice you with options. From the boilerplate specials like Always on Top or Start with Windows to more detailed customizations such as delineating a default extraction directory, setting file extensions to ignore, and adjusting post-extraction behavior, ExtractNow gives users as much flexibility as possible when it comes to batch archive extractions. You can, for instance, set it to delete archives after their files have been extracted.
It is not an archiver, though, and won't be able to replace your favorite archiver. But if you're more about receiving than giving when it comes to ZIPs, RARs, and TARs, ExtractNow can save you a massive amount of time.
Publisher's Description
From Nathan Moinvaziri:
ExtractNow allows you to extract more than one archive at a time. It has a simple and intuitive user interface for batch archive extractions. With just one click of a button multiple archives are extracted quicker and easier.
ExtractNow supports encrypted archives as well. In addition, you can use password lists to iterate through a list of passwords to find the one that works right for your encrypted archive. It supports advanced shell integration with Windows Explorer through the user of file type associates and context menus. It supports most major archive formats including: zip (+jar,xpi), bzip2 (+bz2,tbz2,tbz), rar, arj, z, lzh (+lha), 7z, cab, nsis, lzma, lzma86, xz (+txz), ppmd, udf, xar, mub, hfs, dmg, compound (+msi,doc,xls,ppt), wim (+swm), iso, chm (+chm,chi,chq,chw,hxs,hxi,hxr,hxq,hxw,lit), split (+001), rpm, deb, cpio, tar, gzip (+gz,gzip,tgz,tpz), mslz, flv, swf, ntfs (+ntfs,img), fat (+fat,img), mbr, vhd, pe, elf, apm, macho, ace, and sit.

"used to be a decent program"
Version: ExtractNow 4.7.9
Pros
Nothing, absolutely nothing
Cons
The only thing it managed to do was install crapware since there is no way to opt out. As for extracting archives, it can't find any in a directory full of zip files
Summary
Get the oldest version if you can find it anywhere, that one worked and didn't do any sneak installs
-
"Can I give it zero stars"
Version: ExtractNow 4.7.9
Pros
Maybe it does it's job?
Cons
The program downloads at least 4 other pieces of 'software' with it including a nasty toolbar.
At no point does the install ask if you want to download anything else. The only reference to any other program is a terms page that pops up midway through the install.Summary
You really didn't need those tabs on your browser anyway, did you?
