WinZip, the original and most popular compression utility for Windows, is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that quickly zips and unzips your files to conserve disk space and greatly reduce email transmission time. WinZip seamlessly integrates with Windows and provides AES encryption to keep your files secure. In addition to
its award-winning Classic view, WinZip offers an intuitive Wizard for beginners to quickly and easily accomplish basic zipping and unzipping tasks. WinZip 11 can automatically select the best compression method based on file type to take maximum advantage of the powerful compression methods introduced in version 10 to create even smaller Zip files. The Explorer-style view makes it easy to navigate large, multi-folder archives and the new thumbnail option gives you a chance to quickly see images in the main WinZip window. WinZip 11 is available in Standard or Pro. WinZip 11 Pro offers the WinZip Job Wizard, which allows you to automate your repetitive zipping tasks, back up data easily, archive important documents, or distribute information to others. You can even move your valuable data off site by using the included FTP upload functionality, or you can burn your Zip file directly to CD or DVD. With the new image viewer you can see full size images without having to manually extract them first. Other WinZip benefits include: ** Accomplish most common Zip-related tasks directly from Windows Explorer without ever opening a separate WinZip window. ** Protect your files with the same AES encryption (128- and 256-bit) approved for use by the US government. ** Zip and E-Mail files directly from Explorer with a single mouse click ** Split large Zip files into smaller parts to overcome email or removable media size constraints. ** Get the latest updates automatically with WinZip?s periodic update check. ** Automatically install software, desktop themes, and screen savers contained in Zip files. ** Certified for Windows Vista. ** And much more. . .

Edit
WinZip 12 brings more functions then previous versions such as ISO and RAR viewing. Very useful and no computer should be without some variation of this kind of software.
a really powerful tool for compress/uncompressing ZIP files
if you use ZIP extension for your files compression it will offer you a great experience but if you use a wide range of compressing, so i will offer you WINRAR & 7-zip
I prefer 7-Zip
Bought my first license in 1995 with free upgrades for about 10 years. Now it's almost perfect so most new features are not that nescesary.
khobe
I like WinZip and 7Zip
Sorry winzip I know you've been there for me from the beginning but believe WinRAR and I are just meant to be together. Sorry honey!
not bad, but can be better
Use 7-zip!!!
You don't have 7Zip?
Winzip is good, but as others have said over the years it has gotten bloated and slow. However, I've yet to find a replacement that can match the feature set of Winzip.
7ZIP!
WinZip is painfully slow on my desktop PC. May be time to switch to WinRAR.
I think WinZip is getting slower, or is it just me? WinRAR is better and ALOT faster.
The only button on my winzip toolbar is the extract button. Won't read files with Japanese text.
