Yikes. It wants you to support them by installing a shopping toolbar during setup. I didn't care for the context menu options as you have to open the GUI before applying a job. Other than that it's pretty standard.

Speed greatly improved over previous release, and the new duplicate finder is very useful.
@asaenz I've tried secure delete with a couple of undelete software and all seems working fine, no data was recoverable after secure deletion (W7 64 bit).

Would use the secure file deletion if I thought it was working properly. Tried secure deletion of a 800,000 KB file that takes about 12 seconds to copy and it supposedly wrote random data to it 8 times and renamed it with random name in about a second ... I don't think so. Installed 64 bit version on Windows 7 system.
Reviewing 3.8 (Jun 13, 2011)
Very good free archive program. It supports a lot of file formats, and has much better support for encryption than most programs do. Even with 7zip files it creates, you can use a .key file along with the password, something you can't do with 7zip itself.
