WinZip and WinPatrol have new versions
WinZip:
WinZip, the most popular zipping and unzipping program came out with a new version. This version compresses more faster, fixes a security hole and adds state of the art data encryption. As always, upgrades are free. I bought my Winzip many years ago, and am still getting updates for free. Be aware however, that if you encrypt the files with WinZip, then whatever unzips them will need to use the same specifications as Winzip for the extraction. They are publishing their specs, so other software will probably add compatibility, but for now, the recipient will need the latest version of Winzip if you encrypt your zipped files. www.winzip.com⁄
WinPatrol:
WinPatrol has upgraded their software to Version 7.003. They fixed a couple of bugs, added some cosmetic stuff, but most importantly added locking for the Hosts file and more IE browser helper objects. Still, a favorite: www.winpatrol.com⁄
