WinZip je Windows-temeljen program putem kojeg se razne datoteke u sustavu mogu otvarati i komprimirati u .zip formatu^{(.zip format)} . WinZip je razvio WinZip Computing koji je ranije bio poznat kao Nico Mak Computing . Ne koristi se samo za pristup formatima kompresije datoteka poput BinHex ( .hqx ), cabinet ( .cab ), Unix kompresije, tar i gzip, već i za otvaranje vrlo rijetko korištenih formata datoteka poput ARJ , ARC i LZH uz pomoć dodatnih programa. Možete značajno smanjiti vrijeme prijenosa datoteka smanjenjem veličine datoteke kroz proces tzvpatentni zatvarač. ^{( zipping.)}Svi podaci će biti zaštićeni uslužnim programom za šifriranje^{(encryption utility)} koji je ugrađen u alat. Mnogi koriste WinZip za komprimiranje datoteka radi uštede prostora; Dok se neki ustručavaju koristiti ga. Ako se i vi pitate Je li WinZip siguran^{(Is WinZip safe)} ili je WinZip virus^{(Is WinZip a Virus)} , pročitajte ovaj vodič. Danas ćemo detaljno raspravljati o WinZip -u i kako deinstalirati WinZip , ako je potrebno.

Je li WinZip siguran? Je li WinZip virus?^{(Is WinZip Safe? Is WinZip a Virus?)}

• Je li WinZip siguran? Da^(Yes) , WinZip je siguran za nabavu i korištenje kada se preuzme s njegove službene web stranice^{( official website)} , a ne s nepoznatih web stranica.

Što morate imati na umu prije korištenja WinZip-a?^{(Things to Keep in Mind Before Using WinZip?)}

Iako je WinZip program bez virusa, još uvijek postoje neke šanse da može oštetiti sustav, biti zahvaćen zlonamjernim softverom ili uzrokovati napad virusa. Stoga^(Hence) , sljedeći put kada instalirate ili koristite WinZip , zabilježite sljedeće prijedloge.

Pt 1: Preuzmite WinZip sa njegove službene web stranice^{(Pt 1: Download WinZip from its Official Website)}

Međutim, morate redovito provoditi antivirusno skeniranje kada imate posla s više datoteka i mapa koje je komprimirao ili raspakirao WinZip . Windows Defender možda neće prepoznati prijetnju kada virus ili zlonamjerni softver koristi WinZip datoteke kao kamuflažu.
