WinZip is not free.

If you know what I’m talking about, you’re either one of the folks who has purchased a license for WinZip or you’re one of the folks who has continued to use the trial version of the program, ignoring the “You have been using this program for x days now” message that shows up each time you use it.

If you happen to fall into the latter group, listen up, because there’s a free alternative. It’s called FreeZip and you can download it from www.PCWorld.com at: http://tinyurl.com/2pue6g. It uses no windows and no icons or pictures to usher you through the zipping and unzipping process; it simply gets right down to business by adding commands like “Zip” and “Unzip Here” to the menus you see when you right-click files and folders.

FreeZip is basic, free, simple and effective. So stop waiting for WinZip to load if you’re never going to buy a license, and go download FreeZip now.
