When you need to squeeze that large file through someone's e-mail
server or save some coveted hard-drive space, a compression utility
is your go-to program. The free ZipItFast Pro lets you create and
manage compressed files. It has more features than its other free
competitors, ZipCentral
and FreeZip,
such as password protection and options for the level of
compression you need. Although Windows XP has a compression utility
built-in, ZipItFast Pro includes the ability to manage the files
within archives and create many types of archives.
ZipItFast Pro's drag-and-drop capabilities are indispensable, yet
expected in this software age. The ability to make self-extracting
archive (.exe) files is truly helpful. But the interface remains
cluttered and truly difficult to read, coming off as more cool than
useful. (Additional skins are available for free download.) Another
thing I found annoying: The folder that comes up by default when
opening an archive within ZipItFast Pro is the C drive's WINDOWS
folder when it should be updated to My Documents.
Note: The license agreement for this product is minimal. It
says the program will update your search button in Internet
Explorer. However, I saw no such change. In addition, we carefully
checked for viruses using Symantec AntiVirus in response to a user
review posted October 11, 2006. We found no viruses before or
after installing ZipItFast Pro.

Strengths: It may do a bunch of different formats
Weaknesses: But it is not easy to use or figure out
Overall Evaluation: After downloading, I started the install process and there was a virus in the package. My AVG caught it and took care of it, but when it wasn't very eassy to figure out, I removed it from my system.
