#WINZIP 7 INSTALL#
In order for someone to open a 7-ZIP or WinRAR file, they will need to download and install the appropriate software on their machines first. The only issue with programs like 7-ZIP and WinRAR, both of which did the best in compression, is that they use proprietary formats that are not fully supported on other systems. So should you go out and get 7-ZIP to zip your files? It depends. 7-Zip has been around for a while and they have ranked at the very top for best compression utility on multiple third-party tests, so the numbers are not really surprising. Well, in terms of just compression ability, 7-Zip is the clear winner.
#WINZIP 7 WINDOWS 10#
In addition to the built-in Windows 7 compression, I’m also going to run the same set of data on Windows 10 to see if there is any difference between the versions of Windows. I’m using a Windows 7 PC with Service Pack 1 and I installed the latest versions of each program as of the date of this post: 7-Zip 15.09 beta (64-bit), WinZip version 20 and WinRAR 圆4 5.30 beta 6. In my case, I took 1.47 GBs of videos (different formats), images (RAW and other formats), documents (PDF, Office files, etc) and music files (MP3, M4A, etc) and passed them through each compression utility with default settings.įirst, let’s start with the setup I have and the versions. I don't know what build the problem returned in, but it's there again.I don’t like just compressing images or just compressing documents because the differences end up being very small and it’s hard to choose a clear winner.
#WINZIP 7 ARCHIVE#
They actually fixed the problem with the archive software not showing on the list then, and now it's back again. I think I remember you responding to that post as well, so you are well aware of the problem. I actually reported the problem with WinRAR, WinZip, and 7-Zip over a year ago, and just forgot about reporting it. I think the applications should show on the list of Shielded Application if they are Shielded. It never showed my actual text in order to let me try to change it! Yet it works the first time via chrome, go figure /sigh. I don't personally see why they shouldn't *all* be listed so that we may view and modify them as needed but.erm yeah there are at least already some protections being applied in this case.Īnd more amusingly I was unable to *actually* edit this via firefox despite filling in the 'required' reason repeatedly. It seems you've encountered one here.īased off an on older post here is a string which could involve a few others you haven't mentioned yet."C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit\mbae64.exe" /Start 0 "winrar.exe|winzip.exe|7z.exe|cmd.exe|winhlp32.exe|wscript.exe|quicktimeplayer.exe|winamp.exe|vlc.exe|mplayer2.exe|wmplayer.exe|powerpnt.exe|excel.exe|excelc.exe|winword.exe|winwordc.exe|soffice.bin|foxitreader.exe|foxit reader.exe|Foxit PhantomPDF.exe|FoxitPhantomPDF.exe|acrord32.exe|acrobat.exe|java.exe|javaw.exe|javaws.exe|dragon.exe|waterfox.exe|tor.exe|tbb-firefox.exe|palemoon.exe|cyberfox.exe|icedragon.exe|seamonkey.exe|maxthon.exe|mxapploader.exe|opera.exe|opera_plugin_wrapper.exe|opera_wrapper_32.exe|iexplore.exe|MicrosoftEdge.exe|MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe|chrome.exe|old_chrome.exe|firefox.exe|plugin-container.exe|FlashPlayerPlugin*.exe|helpctr.exe|mbae-test.exe" There are some pre-prepared/existing shields that are there but don't make it to the GUI.
