I haven't had any problems with it.

I second that for IZArc, been using it for years, IMO it is better than 7-Zip, WinRAR, and even WinZip.

Well, what can I say. Another vote for Izarc. Been using it for 5 years and I love it. I have deployed it to all our PCs and have never heard a complain about it.
It looks like these people who are recommending IZArc are from Babylon, advertising for IZArc.
The program installs Babylon bar, changes the home page, changes the default search engine, and attempts to installs other CrapWare, even when you uncheck all the buttons, and tell it NO.
Not worth bothering with this program. Get 7-Zip, or buy WinRar. WinRar is the best in my opinion.
I HATE Babylon for doing this.
Thanks to Revo Uninstaller to root out every trace of Babylon on my machines, followed by a search, and a registry search to make sure not a trace of Babylon has remained.
Keep it up Babylon.
Ever heard of the word "ethics"? ... I guess not.
Installing an IE bar, changing my home page, changing my default search engine without my permission will never help your business. It only makes me hate you.
Your behavior is a great way to lose potential customers, and die a slow death!

It doesn't install it on my PC.
Are you sure you read the installer buttons/instructions correctly?
I have come across a few installers where the buttons are swapped around, so if you just click through the installer, without reading what the buttons say, it will install crapware on your machine.
Instead of "Continue" and "Back" they often have "Accept" or "Decline".
Babylon? The name sounds vaguely familiar.
I don't work for them or receive any payments from them.
Do you receive payments from 7-Zip and/or WinRar?
To protect yourself from crapware, before installing anything:
- Create a System Restore Point.
- Better yet, create a backup HDD image.

THink you might have made a mistake on the write up.
I like 7-Zip, light and handy. Also winrar.
My experience is that .7z and .rar gives the best compression ratios.

Hi,
I've been using 7-Zip for a few years now. Overall I'm satisfied, it's a powerful program.
However, 2 things bug me. First, I dislike the way that file sizes are displayed. For example, if a file size is 101KB, it will be listed in 7-Zip as "103 424" (just like that, with a space in the middle).
Second, I cannot figure out how, when extracting a .zip file that includes multiple folders, to extract it from *within* 7-Zip so that the folders get created and the files get extracted to their correct folders. This would seem to me to be a basic function of such a program. Instead, all the files get extracted to the same destination folder, and that causes problems if there are multiples files with the same name that were originally in different folders. The only way I can see to extract files to their correct folders is to *not* double-click on the file, but instead to right-click on the file, and choose "extract files..." from the 7-Zip context menu.
