What is WinZip?
WinZip is a utility that compresses and decompresses files using the zip format. This is the most common format used on the Internet for compressing Windows files. Files compressed in this way are identified with the extension .zip.
You can download WinZip from any of the following Web sites. Follow our general downloading instructions for help on downloading and installing WinZip.
Once you have installed WinZip, it will start automatically when you click a .zip file in your browser window or on your hard drive. It will show you the contents of the .zip file, and by clicking the Extract button, you can decompress and save the final product. Make a note of the folder where you save the final product, so that you can find it again, either to run the program, or to delete it if you do not want to keep it.
