  Pros

  Whoever said this program doesn't work is just plain stupid. RTFM. You don't drag and drop anything right click and set it up. I extracted 756gb continually over 3 days with NO HICCUPS and extraction within extraction while monitoring a directory for archives, auto deleting after extraction and archives within archives. THIS PROGRAM IS GOLD AND THE DEVELOPER DESERVES AN AWARD FOR SAVING ME WEEKS OF MY LIFE.

  Cons

  Asbolutely none. This program rocks.

• Great little tool. Works every time

  Mohammad Khorasani1/22/2016

  Pros

  Great little tool that I have used for years and just installed it on my new Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10 with no issues.

  Cons

  No cons at all. Works great

  Summary

  I read all the reviews - PEOPLE first realize that the publisher of the software is not the one that is bundling all the ad type programs. CNET/Download.com is if you use their installer and don't pay attention and just click next next next. If you use the direct download link for the author of the software no additional software is included. If you have problems its because you are not following directions. I have literally installed this program on probably close to 1,200 workstations at various client sites and have never had any issues.

• Good tool - too much adware

  3/30/2015

  Pros

  Good tool - useful for handling all types of archive and the less supported formats. Lite product and fast.

  Cons

  Used to be a good tool - but now it comes bundles with *so* much Ad-ware. One of the guys installed it without taking proper notice and within seconds the computer was full of stuff like 'BubbleDock' and 'BoBrowser'. There was so much we just trashed the drive and re-installed from image.

  Summary

  It is very disappointing the developer has found it necessary to take the ad-ware route, which i suspect is for funding their work. I for one would happily have paid to use the tool which i often found very handy. I will not use it anymore.

• Wish I could give it 0

  jawso2/9/2015

  Pros

  None - didn't work on the SIT file I was given

  Cons

  Despite the advertiser shills writing positive review I had NO options upon installing a direct link (not the CNET installer). It didn't work and I went to uninstall it. AS SOON AS I DID I had 3 various pieces of adware/malware install on my computer. After trying to keep up with the spawning processes and installs going on I finally "killed it" only to discover over the next day that the damn program installed an crapware installer program and ad re-director called GlobalUpload. I am in IT and not some newb who didn't see a greyed out opt-out box. THIS HAS ADWARE/MALWARE IN IT DON'T DOWNLOAD IT

  Summary

  AVOID THIS PROGRAM AT ALL COSTS. Shame on CNET for hosting it.

• Couldn't get it to work in Windows 8

  InsaneTXArtist10/10/2014

  Pros

  Unknown. I installed it and it ran, but it did nothing when I tried to drag and drop files into it.

  Cons

  Apparently does not agree with Windows 8.

  Summary

  A waste of time to download.

• IT'S NOT MALWARE!!

  Charles Carmichel8/7/2014

  Pros

  It's not malware! It's fast and easy to use.

  Cons

  It can only extract files. It can't create them.

  Summary

  This is not malware. I downloaded this and received zero malware. If you don't believe me, then look it up on the other sites. Those who are slandering both this site and the product really need to get a life. Also, in the area I live in slander is against the law, and people have been fined for it. This does come bundled with 4 PUPs, but they are optional. Just click "Decline," or "Skip," to prevent them from installing and doing something bad. Also, most free stuff has something similar. That's what makes it free. Even the famous 7zip has a PUP (and it's very annoying too).

• I used to trust cnet...not anymore....

  crewanton3/25/2014

  Pros

  there are no pros

  Cons

  More than 700 infected files after download. You are asked if you want to install 2 programs, I declined both then the malwares install in the background.
