Today I snapped and decided to find out how to turn them off for good (or at least until I buy the next version of WinZip).īecause WinZip has no setting for this, you have to go into Windows task scheduler and turn it off there. And there’s nowhere in the interface settings where I could find anything that would turn off these popups and notifications. Not only is it intrusive, but it’s unwanted and unwarranted for someone who has paid for a professional licence. I’m looking at you, WinZip! Ever since I installed my current-paid for-version of WinZip Pro (version 24), it’s bombarded me with advertising and promotional popups several times a day, even if I’m right in the middle of work. The countless number of options, as well as its versatility and ease, make it a must-have for any user.There’s a special place in hell reserved for software developers that set things to run behind the scenes that pop up to annoy users. Winrar is probably the best compression tool out there. Finally, you can also protect files using Rijndael (AES-128) encryption system, digital signature or protect it against modifications. Plus, Winrar offers a very good compression ratio (above the average), which means that the files you compress will be smaller than compressing them using other programs. Then, choose whether to unpack it or run the files without having to unpack it previously. Just double-click the icon and the content of the file will appear on the screen. Regardless of the compressed file's format, you can unpack more than 40 different formats, including CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, RAR, Zip or 7Z. You can also add a password or a comment.

The program integrates itself perfectly in the right-button menu, so you can easily create RAR and ZIP files. Winrar is a free app that lets you compress and unpack any file in a very easy, quick and efficient way.
