    This is an excellent and free software.
    But, don't download it from here, as the file here is not the full program.
    I think it is stupid for this site not to provide the full installer which is only about 6 MB in size.
    To get the full versions, 32 bit and the 64 bit versions, go here:

    Since peazip and 7zip both use the 7zip algorithm, comparison-wise it makes no difference. This is of course a much more powerful program and a much slicker gui. But again I only use it for the secure delete as freearc can make 7zip's quite easily as well. Between the four; freearc, this one, 7zip and winrar, it's just a matter of which one you prefer. Winrar has terrible compression next to the others but it integrates well if that's your bag.
