   Secure email attachments, and supplement the WinXP ZIP handling - from PKWARE, the inventor of ZIP.

   For a limited time, free single user licence. Never mind the security aspect, just use it as a run of the mill zip program, if that's all you want.

   Not for you to worry, I will say thanks to you from all those that got the file for nothing.

   It does pretty much similar to winrar.

   So hopefully people will get this for free and not pirate winrar.

   I have been trying this application out past 4 days and it for some reason stops winrar
   (well parts of it working).

   When you right click a compressed folder and use 'extract to' in winrar it dies after
   a few hours.

   So I have uninstalled it and won't be using it again.

   I, too, have been using it the past few days but I've found the program to be efficient and problem-free. Thank you for posting this, 'TheLeecher,' good find!

   Hello,

   What is this about the free licenses? I downloaded it and when I check the license, there was already a number written on it. I checked the "licenses for other PKware products and it listed two products. One is called "Secured Zip w/email for windows, version 11.0 and the license key is the same one shown in the previous window.
   The other product is called PKZip Self-Extractors for Windows, version 7.0 and it has a license key that I do not recognize. Doesn't PKZip come with windows already?

   I am worried about what Lee said because I also have WinRar. I don't understand very well the problem you are describing. I have disabled all the associations that secureZIP automatically sets for itself and put them back in WinRar which, so far, is the only one I use and I have had no problems using it so far.

   If I understand what you are saying, Lee, is that if you extract a compressed file using WinRar and it takes a few hours to finish the job, WinRar dies all of the sudden? If that is the case, then I am getting rid of it immediately. Can you please describe a set of steps that shows how secureZIP breaks WinRar? I like free software, but not if it is going to break the software I have paid for.

   Thanks,

   -Mario

   No doesn't take a few hours.

   Say you have a compressed folder and you select in winrar 'extrat to' it does here extraction or a decrompessed folder of the same name as the rar file.

   Say my system is up for lets say 1 hour, the 'extract to' under winrar works fine, then when you do the same function later in winrar it does not do that function but pkzip it does.

   If you catch my drift.
