[voyes]

Which Program do you use? Which is your favourite?

7zip needs a built-in updater or "check for updates".

I was just thinking this today as I was double checking I had the latest.

WinRar since forever, it's fast and has a nice interface.Used others also, Power Archiver probably the most.Way back though.

I use Bandizip at home and 7zip at work.

Both work great

I've recently started using Qihoo's 360 Zip. It does a virus scan of any archive you open, and it is free of ads.

360 Zip | Free decompression software

360 Zip is a free decompression software launched by Qihoo 360. 360 Zip is fast, lightweight, compatible and permanently free. 360 Zip has a built-in cloud security engine that can detect Trojans and is safer.

I don't know if it has changed, but in the past when I downloaded it from the above link, it installed in Russian. I installed the English language version from the Tool Box section of 360 Total Security.

You need to have 360TotalSecurity installed to enable the trojan scan. So... kind of useless.

I personally use WinRAR using the same license for 6 years now. Bandizip is also good and can easily recommend someone who don't want to use WinRAR. 7zip is another popular option, but their user interface looks outdated in Windows 10 not sure if they changed it or not.

7-ZIP for sure. It's free and useful.

I prefer WinRar, when you want to "extract here" it's not in a submenu. Also, the logo allows it to stand out from the default windows option.

Thank you for proving my point, it's inside a submenu.
WinRar isn't:

 

[mkoundo]

How did you do it?
Also, when I was using 7zip, I had the default built in windows option to extract files, how come you don't?

 

[mkoundo]

I don't have it installed right now but you can check for cascaded context menu option in:
Tools menu -> Options -> Plugins -> System

Ok, but who wants to pay for a software to compact files/folders?

 

[forgottenuser79643]

Technically its in the eternal trial.
