Use WinZip to secure confidential files using password-based AES encryption. WinZip keeps your files completely safe when saving or sending. Plus it auto-wipes (shreds) temporarily extracted copies of encrypted files using the U.S. Department of Defense standard (DoD 5220.22-M). This prevents them from being recovered and misused. You can also define your own password policy for the utmost security.
Package and share files with WinZip. Bundle files into packages, creating convenient logical groups of related files then send them instantly via email. Zipped packages are perfect for organizing and securing email attachments, which send faster thanks to smaller file sizes. This is especially helpful when sending digital photos. And those photos can be viewed without extracting using the WinZip image viewer. You can even resize your high-res pictures with just a click, so they email even faster and fit standard computer screens.
Prevent data loss with WinZip's automated data backup facility. Backup selected data files and schedule those backups to run automatically and unattended. Burn your backup data to CD/DVD or network drive, or upload your backups to an off-site server using the built-in WinZip FTP client. Backup your desktop, documents, pictures, email, etc. using pre-defined jobs or create your own custom backup jobs. WinZip will even send you automated email notifications upon job completion.
WinZip integrates seamlessly with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista®, and now Windows 7. Use WinZip for all your file compression, sharing, encryption, and data backup needs. WinZip starts at only US $29.95 for a single user license and is available in three product editions: WinZip Standard, new WinZip Backup, and the full-featured WinZip Pro.
