Free compression software:
I used to be a ZipGenius fan, for its reliability, stability, for wide range of filetype supported, and last but not least, because is Italian software.
I adopted 7zip after the weekly antivirus scan showed a possible threat in the ZipGenius folder, and I totally uninstalled ZipGenius: 7zip is even more reliable, more stable, supports more compression formats than you'll ever use, and last but not least, is open source.

Thanks for the precious suggestion, in fact with 7ZIP I have resolved the reliability problems that ZIPGENIUS gave to me.
RispondiEliminaYou welcome ...and I'm glad you started a blog. :-)
RispondiEliminaThe antivirus threat shown by your AV software in ZipGenius folder is a FALSE ALARM. Your AV scanner has probably detected that some ZipGenius binary files are UPX-compressed and that cause the heurystic system of your AV scanner to fire an alarm.

Hi Matteo,
RispondiEliminathanks for your explicative note regarding the AV issue with your program.
Again, in ZipGenius I don't like very much the use of temporary directory to uncompress files. They usually are located in the user Documents folder: this could cause a free disk space problem.
I haven't found a way to modify the temp directory path, so every time I uncompress a 6GB file I have to cope with the "Insufficient disk space" message (yes, I have less than 6GB free on my C: drive).
Nevertheless ZipGenius is a great tool, and I like it very much.
Thanks for stopping by.
