Reviewed by: CNET staff on June 30, 2009
StuffIt Deluxe offers users tons of options for compressing files. So many that novice users might find the detailed options a bit overwhelming. However, thanks to its helpful wizards and comprehensive Help menu, even the least experienced user will quickly get acclimated to this effective program.
The program has a busy user interface, but it's laid out very well. Basic commands line the top and tabs keep the program's many configurations organized. We recommend that users take advantage of the help wizards that guide you through the process of creating a new archive, compressing files for e-mail, FTP, and to burn to disc. We were able to quickly add files to the archive, select the destination, compression format, and apply an encryption method and password. As soon as we clicked OK, the program immediately created a ZIP file for our selected files. On a later test, we were able to just as easily create a schedule for creating a ZIP file at a specified time. The program includes a Quick Tools feature that allows you open and extract a ZIP file, as well as create a ZIP file without the help of a wizard. Other features let you manage all of your archives and quickly search for specific ones.
Despite the multitude of options, it didn't take long for us to find our way around the program, and with a little time, novices will also find the program easy to navigate. We highly recommend this efficient program for users who want full control when compressing files.

Version: StuffIt Deluxe 2009
"This software is completely terrible"
Pros: Absolutely none (Why would CNET assume Stuffit has 10 characters worth of good qualities? It doesn't.)
Cons: Resets file associations
Doesn't extract files properlySummary: Even if you choose not to associate certain archive extensions with Stuffit, it will still reset the settings for ALL of them, so that your computer no longer knows what to open them with. It's only a minor inconvenience having to tell it to open my... read more >>

Version: StuffIt Deluxe 2009
"I can't get this product to install on WinXP Pro"
Pros: Don't know - won't install
Cons: I have downloaded the installation exe and run it. It seems to extract the files and install the program, but it is not on my Start Menu nor can I find it in Add/Remove Programs. Very odd.
