Hi

Just got my computer back after having a virus, now need a free winzip one that is safe and will not down load lots of rubbish at the same time.

Thanks in advance

    usually you can choose during the installation not to include junk...

    winzi, last I knew, and apparently now, is NOT free! 7zip is nice. ALSO:

    PeaZip | Free Zip files utility, free Rar files extractor

    Take my word for it Steve it is free.

    You can download the trial and use it almost forever without upgrading it.

    You can also download a free trial that has strings attached.

    Pick the former.

      The next to the last I picked had two timers. When they both ran out there was a delay. The last had the timers. When they ran out, it wouldn't continue.

    Yes I have had the trial run out - but only 1 or 2 times in 9 years.

    This is the first time I have used it on this computer. Actually haven't even used it yet - it has a lot of features it didn't have before but I couldn't tell you what they are. One of these days when I need to use it I will check it out.

    WinRar does what WinZip does and its trial version doesn't expire.
