ZipGenius is a free compression suite, not just a zip/unzip utility, for users that need to have a complete suite that allows data compression and backup in just one application.

7-zip supported

Support to more than 20 archive types: read the full list here.

Backup features including Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird profiles backup (you can even convert these backup files to SFX so you could restore them without ZipGenius)

Security check on file preview: if you try to preview a file that ZipGenius marked as "suspected", the program will warn about potential risks you a re running into; if you set the path to an antivirus in the options panel, then the program will prompt to scan the selected file before running it

New Explorer panel in the sidebar: it allows to add/extract files to/from archives through drag and drop

UPX executable files precompression

Multilanguage

Skinnable GUI

4 encryption algorhythms: CZIP 2.1, Blowfish, Twofish, Rijndael (AES). You can even create encrypted executable archives that don't need ZipGenius to be decrypted and decompressed.

by the way my trial period for winzip nd winrar ran out few days back..so instead of looking for crack i'll try using this software!!

well i still prefer WinRAR, its the best thing that ever happened to compression biz

as for its non freeware nature goes, i reibstall my os way before the trial period ends

Hmm, whast the use, WinRAR 3.5 beta 1 is out with skinning support
