Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This file-archive utility's strong feature set and impressive flexibility make it a reasonable substitute for the ubiquitous WinZip. PowerArchiver supports several compression formats, including the new 7-Zip format, which offers extremely high compression ratios. You also can encrypt your archives using one of five secure algorithms. The configuration menu lets you customize almost every feature, including a password manager for encrypted archives, a self-extracting wizard, and an autobackup tool. The batch ZIP tool compresses hundreds of files in one shot, and the multiextract tool unpacks hundreds of archives at once. The program works swiftly and reliably and now supports unlimited-size ZIP archives and full-program skinning. Anyone who needs to work with archive files will find PowerArchiver a versatile, affordable alternative.Publisher's description

Version: PowerArchiver 2006 9.62
Pros: This software handled every type of file that I came across. It has a very friendly interface and doesn't hog system resources. The price is incredible! You can extract and compile various types of files. You can add compression and very strong encryption on the archieves you create. Compared to competition such as WinZip, this is absolutely, without a doubt, the winner. Instead of going around looking for more software to compare with this one, just buy this. Afterall, you are reading this review to help you make up your mind...right?
Cons: None...if you need it, buy it.
