View Archived files, unzip them and also protect files and folders has been made easier

By Legacy Stranger

On Monday, November 30, 2015

This is a very goot tool to use. If you have not tried it and would wish to know how it works, well it mainly works like unzippers or unrar. This is when a folder or file is stored in a special way in order to protect the content inside from being corrupted. Take the example of a person in a cell, he or she can't get out but the one outside can get inside.

The unarchiver will now be used to view folders and files that have been archived. You can choose to view the files directly in the archive or romove them from the archive and view them normally. The unarchiver can also be used to archive files.

This tool is easy to use, with its simply laid out user interface, easy to understand words and has only the needed functions for only the things you need. This software is not like most of the other as it will not fill your computer with unwanted additional programs brought by ads injected in it.

Unarchiver is also well compressed to avoid large hard disk space consumption, it won't alter you registry nor does it leave temporary files.. Once you have installed it try and use iobit to uninstall it.. If you get a pop up saying that addition tempp files need cleaning, just clean your computer then reinstall unarchiver..

FINAL.

Unarchiver is free to use for personal purposes and one shouldn't repackage it and sell it. Use the unarchiver anytime you want. You can either download it as a zipped file or directly as a executable file

Pros

  • Can also act as an unzipper.
  • Is small in size and doesn't leave any residue in you machine.
  • Has a well laid ui that is easy to understand.

Cons

  • It doesn't have any disadvantages.
