PowerArchiver 2009 11.03.04

PowerArchiver is an alternative for WinRar and WinZip that has gained up ground against its elderly opponents in the past few years. It has a user friendly interface and small tutorials for inexperienced users.

With PowerArchiver you can open, create or add files to almost any archive format: ZIP, CAB, LHA (LZH), TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, RAR, ARJ, ARC, ACE, ZOO, GZ and BZIP2 and it can read XXE and UUE encoded files. You can perform a list of operations that include renaming the files in an archive, checking archives for viruses, viewing or writing comments and many others for both advanced and beginner users.

You can now view texts and images using the internal viewer, apply skins to the toolbars, switch between classical or explorer views or create self extracting archives.

PowerArchiver fully integrates into Windows, giving you the possibility to extract or create archives while browsing files in Windows Explorer. But the list of features does not stop here. You can convert between archive formats, repair corrupted archives or extract multiple archives at once. In addition to all these features and several others, the application updates itself whenever a new version is available so that it can bring you even more new features.

A good thing about PowerArchiver it that even though it is very complex, there are a bunch of picture tutorials so that anyone can use it to its full potential.

PowerArchiver is a great and very useful program given the fact that more and more people are working with archives. Download a 30 days trial by following our link.
