SevenZip

SevenZip seems to be a reliable application at first sight.

It also says that you will be able to “easily share files with your friends.” It seems to be a decent program. Besides, users can download it completely free-of-charge, so it is not surprising at all that many people download it and install it on their systems.

It seems that SevenZip is going to act as it promises; however, you still have to be cautious with it because it turns out be a copy of a legitimate program 7-Zip.
