Folks:
I am looking at PKZIP and WINZIP; however, I cannot decide between the two products. I am mainly lookup for the capability to encrypt my zip files.
What do folks use? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I prefer the free, open-sourced 7-Zip. It can encrypt your files using AES-256 or ZipCrypto.

Since Windows XP, you can do it without a third party utility: https://wiki.csuchico.edu/confluence/display/help/Password+Protect+a+ZIP+File+in+Windows+XPKnowledge has no value if it is not shared.

Yeah, 7-zip is the only compression tool you really need.

I personally use IZARC because I can extract ISOs instead of having to burn them first to run them
This does compression as well -

7-zip is good. I mostly use Total Commander.. I have been using it for years.. Has all sorts of built in goodies.

I am looking into 7zip since everyone recommended it. I downloaded it from source forge; however, I cannot find a checksum key. Does anyone know where the keys are located on the server?
thanks
