CNET Editors' review
Compress executables and protect apps, but don't expect any hand holding from this program. eXPressor's tightly-stuffed dialog-sized checkbox and pulldown packed interface will make sense only to those few destined to appreciate this app. Those who don't create applications for fun and profit should move along. There's nothing to see here.
Those left reading will like eXPressor's simple setup and operation. Packing an executable takes as little as a pair of clicks. Of course, users can complicate the process by choosing from numerous compression engine options. The program helps the process through helpful warnings and informational failure messages. The base settings served our testers for most packing. Compression is limited to three levels from fastest to tightest.
It takes some work to protect compressed files, but it's not a requirement. Set the option and eXPressor alters the interface to allow access to an options menu. Password protection, anticracking option, drive limitations and other functions help experienced application designers useful protection options.
Installation offers four versions of this app. We tested the Professional option that included all functions. Application authors looking to compress and protect their applications will want to give this app a test drive.

"False Virus readings"
Version: eXPressor 1.5
Cons
By using This Software I get False virus reading in Avast and software crunched with this will just delete itself if McAffe virus killer is running. Windows RAC creates more problems.

"Geat product does what it say's"
Version: eXPressor 1.4.5.1
Pros
The compression Ratio is the best, I've seen.
Cons
Products compressed with this give false virus dection reading, What Avast (3,000,000 users because it free) will not run certain software compressed with this.
The abuse and reviews you get from users, saying your software has a virus can be damaging to any company software product)
This is due to hacked tryit version floating about.
Every second virus has been compress with this software to reduce it size.
The support email address does work or been block by spam filters. (So their is no support in my book)
