• Good Easy to use. Be careful during installation

  7/13/2015

  Pros

  Simple and opens most of the files. Almost satisfying the purpose.

  Cons

  May install unwanted components if not careful during installation. Always select custom setup and read and select properly before pressing NEXT button.

• MALWARE! Shame on you CNET!

  FooFighter19456/21/2014

  Pros

  Cannot name a single one.

  Cons

  Apr 14, 2014 - The application jZipSetup.exe by Bandoo Media Inc has been detected as a potentially unwanted program by 4 anti-malware scanners.

  Summary

  If CNET continues pushing malware, it will reflect on their possibly once good name.

• Easy and Free

  robygbh12/29/2013

  Pros

  Easy to use and free

  Cons

  You have to pay attention when downloading.

  Summary

  It's simple to use and looks nicer than winrar, plus it doesn't ask you for money every time you open the program. Pay attention, and don't just blindly click, click, click while it's downloading so you don't get unwanted browsers at the same time. All will be fine.

• Caveat Emptor

  Xidimapi10/14/2013

  Pros

  Free compressed file management that works. Did I forget to mention that it's free?

  Cons

  Installs additional unnecessary (and generally unwanted) programs if you allow it to do so.

  Summary

  It's free and works well once you get past the installation process which any teenager can handle. Did I forget to mention that it's free?

• Maware as standard

  d1nonlytimco4/19/2013

  Pros

  None as it will unless care is taken install malware

  Cons

  Installs malware on the PC as standard I would say avoid any programme that does this until they turn it around and make the standard install without the malware and the custom install have everything else in it. If these criminals are willing to by default install software that hijacks your PC then what else are they prepared to do to your PC? Not trust worthy stay away.

• Pay attention when downloading

  Indycharm3/3/2013

  Pros

  Opens files

  Cons

  All the junk that is hidden in it.. new users don't pay attention then get loaded with mal ware.

  Summary

  I didn't get any of the mal ware from this. I watched as I downloaded it and clicked for custom download. So no sneaky things crept into my comp

• It's definitely malware, I did NOT download it

  amberartall1/25/2013

  Pros

  I don't know because I didn't download it, it just crawled right onto my computer somehow!

• An efficient and easy to use zip/rar utility.

  chilton3311/17/2012

  Pros

  Easy to use.

  Cons

  Standard installation installs undesirable extras.

  Summary

  This is a very good free archiving utility. Easy to install and use. Always do a custom install and don't be tempted to install the extras, searchqu or bandoo, they can take over your browser. If you do however, you can remove them using revo uninstaller or the like. Don't be put off by some of the negative reviews. Take care and all will be well.

• Bandoo Products Should Be BANNED!!!

  utahgurrgle4/23/2012

  Pros

  Archive files easily

  Cons

  Found browser attacking malware and inferior search engine download Searchnu.

  Summary

  Have always trusted CNET downloads but this one left a complete sour taste. It is one that won't be forgotten while searching for another safe and trusted download source. I can't believe that CNET allows such a misdirection into the abyss of malware, browser hijacking, virus loaded software. Any software that is from Bandoo has the same affect so beware if you find in in your files, get rid of it now before the problems sneak up and bite you.
