WinZip 8.1 - download at http://download.cnet.com

make sure all the spaces were removed from the url

WinZip will open the compressed files with the .zip extension. www.winzip.com

I have Windows Me, the ZIP file just becomes a compressed folder. But, if you run an earlier version of Windows, you need a file decompress utility.

Other than WINZIP (already mentioned thrice), there is PKZIP (version 4 is recommended - the latest demo version [4.5] has a 30-day trial).

For free, you can get ZipItFast, ZipGenius, and ZipCentral.

Winzip is probably your best bet. Quick easy and painless to use even for a beginner.

I use Easy Zip which is a free program that seems to work just as good as Winzip.

You could use winzip to extract the compressed files.
You could also 'zip' files easily either for saving disk space or for portability.

Zipped files reduce file size considerably
