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 2009 11.0
Pros: Interface very well thought out.: Explorer type tree displays archive contents. Preview pane for images. Compresses to tar.gz or .tar.bz2 in one operation. Progress indicators. Trouble-free and a pleasure to use.
Cons: Well, after 30 days must register for $19.95. I think it's worth it though.
Summary: I like everything about it. Interface, speed, status display. It even has an attractive icon.
