Bonnie Kennedy.J- Pros
- Ever since I have installed the Free ZIP Opener tool, it is easy to use zipped files. It is the best tool to use these kinds of files. Now I can easily manage these types of files without any hassles. I love the interface which is simply outstanding for a free tool.
- Cons
- No malware.
- Summary
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PRODUCT. RUN AWAY. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
- Pros
- Nothing. It did not un-zip my file.
- Cons
- So many ads and pop ups. It installs all kinds of ridiculous programs on your computer and the advertising will not go away until you uninstall everything. It crashed my browser and changed the default search engine to Yahoo. There are probably going to be more issues that I haven't even discovered yet. All of the positive reviews sound like they are written from the same person. If they don't even mention the immediate pop ups as a "con" of this product then they are surely lies and written by the developer.
- Summary
- STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS HORRIFIC PRODUCT. I created an account on this terrible website (took 10 attempts) and I never ever bother writing reviews. STAY AWAY.
STAY AWAY from this product!

- It really does not matter if the utility works - see below.
- Cons
- We all know freeware tries to load unwanted programs to a computer during the install, and usually you can just uncheck their boxes if you are observant. However this little beauty disguises adware called Glass Bottle in a EULA, which without reading the fine print, looks like you are agreeing to a EULA for this zip utility. False - it is for installing Glass Bottle adware. But this adware makes your computer basically UNUSABLE. Almost every website (e.g. eBay, Amazon, etc.) causes banner ads to consume about 1/2 of the real estate of EVERY page. Worse, on non-affected web pages, if you click a hotlink, it will THEN bring up a full ad page, which you must close, then re-click the original desired hotlink. And sometimes it adds a popup ad right in the middle of your original webpage. Removing the adware was almost impossible, and after trying MANY utilities, a blogger pointed me to "ZHPCleaner" which is the only one that removed this crap on my computer. So Google that if needed
- Summary
- Don't even try to download this freeware - if you make my mistake it is horrendous. With Windows 7 (and earlier?) and above, just right-click the zip file and use EXTRACT to unzip things. I used to use WinZip but now they want to charge for it :(
