CNET Editors' review
The reigning top dog of the utility world gets some nice behind-the-scenes improvements while maintaining the familiar usability and interface that we've come to trust. WinZip is still king at creating ZIP archives, and this new version expands its kingdom on a number of fronts. New features include AES 128- and 256-bit encryption for tighter security, an improved compression algorithm that gives you better compression ratios, and new technologies that remove the size restrictions on ZIP archives. Other handy features include a user-friendly zipping wizard, a split archive function that converts even very large ZIP files into manageable sizes for easier e-mailing, span-disk capability for complete backups, integration with virus-protection software, and the ability to drop whole programs into one self-extracting archive.
Although this is the most compatible version to date, WinZip still relies on ZIP alone to archive your files. We would have liked to see support for RAR, ISO, and ACE archives. Overall, however, WinZip is a fantastic program, and the new features improve on what it does best. Whether you're an old pro or a new user, this is a must-have upgrade.
WinZip - Push your archives to the cloud - Download Video Previews:Publisher's Description
From WinZip Computing:
WinZip is the original and most popular of all Windows ZIP file utilities. Wizard/Classic interfaces accommodate both first-time and experienced users. With WinZip you can quickly and easily compress and decompress files, folders, and entire folder trees to save storage space and reduce e-mail-transmission time, as well as encrypt and decrypt your sensitive documents. Features include tight integration with Windows Explorer, support for most Internet file formats, and one-click zipping and e-mail.
Editor's note: WinZip is now bundled with Google Toolbar and Google Desktop Search. Installation of these components is optional.

"Comes packaged with foistware"
Version: WinZip 10
Pros
Can be used to zip and unzip archives in .zip format if you don't have 7-zip.
Cons
Installs AVG secure searchbar onto all your browser whether you want it to or not. AVG hijacks your browser homepage and internet searches and AVG uninstaller does not uninstall AVG.
Is out performed by similar programs that are availible for free.
No support for improved compression methods like .rar or .7zSummary
This could have been a passable program if it wasn't made redundant by free programs and could have remained a valid, if sub-par, choice for file compression due to its speed if not for the foistware it forces onto your computer when downloaded. As it is, this is a terrible choice for anyone.

Uncheck those Google checkboxes: not against google, against these - absolutly useless for me - products. When it selects associations, it should only select the kinds which doesn't already have It's a bit sad that it only knows 18 extensions.
