Win Zip keeps popping up on my computer telling me that my computer needs fixing. Anyone know what this is and how do I get rid of it?
and 7-zip is free!
I would uninstall WINZIP and install 7-zip instead.
7-zip is highly thought of and does everything I needed from WINZIP. I like the choices it gives you.
I dropped WINZIP when it stopped being free to Compuserve members and then changed ownership.
FWIW
Um, is your "Win Zip" = WinZip System Tools <here>.
