I concur 7zip is good, just stay away from 'freezip.exe'. I downloaded and installed this first and it brought baggage with it, in the form of a Trojan.Agent. I haven't got it anymore, 'Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware' got rid of it.

Good practice to be alert when installing any program. Carefully look for the extras that will install if you don't UNtick the boxes. Extra toolbars are notorious for getting installed in this way.

Hi lotvic

I always keep a close eye on the ticking and unticking, however, this didn't enter that way. It was after all a trojan not a toolbar or an unwanted programme. 'freezip.exe' is the trojan.
