Winzip

Is there a free version of winzip or something similar available. I recently paid for a version on one machine all I get now is repeated offers and upgrade request it's doing my nut in. I want a copy for home but without the marketing.

Winxip used to have a free version but not any more I believe

There are heaps free ones available (Windows has a built in one but its pants)

Google it or have a look at UnRar 7-zip, stuffIt

WinRAR

You'll get the nag screen when you use it, but it's free and you can Zip stuff UP as well as extract :)

Another very good free utility is 7-zip.
Available from here:- http://www.7-zip.org/

Another vote for Winrar here.

I've used WinRar for a long time, its very good, easy to use and hasn't ever given me any problems.

I use 7-zip too - it is really very good and it is open source - the way software should be imo!
