  • We would have given 7-ZIP 5 stars, except that it sets the Windows archive bit even on archive files whose content hasn’t changed. This is a huge design flaw, in our opinion, and causes our daily Web site updates to transfer an extraneous 9 GB of unchanged files each year. We have requested multiple times that this be fixed.

  • First use and it has absolutely destroyed my 4tb nas hard drive @ a cost of £150. I'm livid!!!!!! Should have known better than to use free stuff like this no matter how well intentioned it is, nothing is for free and this just proves it. :-(
  • I downloaded 7za910.zip from this page and ran it against VirusTotal dot com and Bkav (1 of the 65 Major Anti Virus Checkers) found a malware: W32.eHeur.Malware09. Who knows, could be a False Positive. I downloaded 7z version 18 from Igor's official website and ran it against VirusTotal and I also unzipped it and ran all its containing exe's thru VT and it was clean. Otherwise I think 7zip is a great tool.
  • 7-zip was very highly recommended to me, so I downloaded it. When I went to install it, the first thing I saw was a message that the publisher is unverified and did I want to proceed? well, these days if there is any question about security, you don't want to install something that gives you a warning like that. So I deleted it. Too bad. My friend said it is a great product and he does not know why it is giving that warning message. Feedback would be app[reciated. Please let me know if this will change soon.
