KGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. KGB Archiver uses AES-256 encryption to encrypt archives.
I love this program. I just got fascinated when I saw it compress a 700Mb ISO file in only 5 MB!!!
It takes hours to compress and result is not always the best
Download has a bunch of dll's and resource files but no executable or installer...it is unusable
