My WinZip has expired! But IZArc Is Doing The Same Job Free For Me.

Filed Under (Blogging, IT) by Evelyn on 02-04-2008

My WinZip has expired!  

The headache turned out to be a blessing.  It helped me to unearth a treasure, IZArc! 

I thought WinZip is the ultimate until I started a desperate search for an alternative. The point is that I hardly use WinZip.  Is it not worth buying a copy when I seldom make use of it?  Both evaluation copy of WinZip on my desktop and laptop expired and failed me at the most critical moment. It was frustrating. It was holding up a simple step like trying to unzip a plugin for my blog.

I googled for similar problems faced by many people and the opinions on program features that they liked most about their archive software.  It identified popular archive software 7zip, Winrar, Power Achcive, Tugzip, Universal Extractor, Win Ace, WinZip and IZArc.

For the first time, I discovered that IZArc is a favorite choice from popular reviews and there is no need to look further. I tried IZArc and find it extremely user friendly. I’m so excited to share with you.

Wikipedia search defines  IZArc (pronounced like “easy-arc”) as a file archiver developed by Bulgarian programmer Ivan Zahariev.  The program is freeware which is computer software that is available for use at no cost or for an optional fee.

Some Features extracted from IZArc :

IZArc is integrated in Windows so you can perform all archiving operations by using right-click menus in Windows Explorer.  

If you have broken archives IZArc can help you to repair them with ease.  

IZArc is 100% virus free and it doesn’t contain any spyware or adware.

IZArc is the most complete archive utility available today.

IZArc has also built-in multilanguage support.

It is a long list of features at IZArc .

   There’s so many things we can get free if we have the time to google them.

   I really appreciate the efforts and generosity of these freeware developers. The best part is getting the right tool at the right time, when you needed it most.

   Winzip is yesterdays news….
   IZARC is a good application… no doubt about it.
   But their latest version is having some bugs which I’m unable to troubleshoot with Windows Vista.
   Anyway other than IZARC, there’s always ZIP Genius and 7-ZIP.

   Hi Fauzi,

   Thanks for referring ZIP Genius and 7-ZIP. I will try them on my laptop.
   At the moment, I am using IZArc on my desktop which is still running on XP SP2. IZArc is so far so good.
