    WinZip

    Hi Paul

    No WinZip is not a virus, it is a legitimate application, and it is not free . . .

    However, it does come down and install itself by hiding with other applications you install

    You don't need WinZip on your PC, because Windows natively supports Zip files, so the best option is to uninstall it . . .

    Open the Settings App, go to Apps, then find WinZip in the list of installed Apps and uninstall it from there . .

    Winzip

    Hi Chris,

    Winzip is a commercial application. You can download it free for 20 day trial, however you need to pay for the subscription to continue using it. To unzip a file on Windows 10 without a third party application, we suggest that you follow the steps on this
    article:
    Zip and unzip files
    .



    Regards.
