What does WinZipper do?
Although 4-zip is marketed as “a powerful tool for unzipping Zip archives” and other archive formats, the official site does not provide any information about WinZipper, if we assume that these applications are completely different. It is not clear whether WinZipper is a just clone of 4zip or stands on its own as a file compression tool. This kind of mix-up might raise suspicion, as it is possible that developers might want to take advantage of the ignorance and lack of attentiveness of computer users to drop WinZipper into target systems. When it comes to functionality, WinZipper is not identified as an inherently malicious program, displaying all the features one would expect an archiver application to display. Still, there are so many more sophisticated tools that reach their users by transparent distribution means, so it is best that you remove WinZipper and implement a better solution.
Where does WinZipper come from?
The most worrisome fact about WinZipper, and thus a good reason to delete this potentially unwanted program, is that it was developed by Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology Ltd. If you compare the developer stated on the aforementioned site with the one identified on the installation wizard of WinZipper, you will notice that they do not match. Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology is responsible for such various unwanted or even blatantly hostile applications as Qone8, Omiga Plus, Picexa, and others, so we recommend that you remove WinZipper and stay away from any software developed by this collective.
It is known that the said developer utilizes indirect ways to disseminate its software and target computers. It might be through providing misleading information, as in the WinZipper case, or by being bundled with third-party applications. It is always important how software reaches its users: If you install programs downloaded from unreliable file sharing sites, it might be possible you will need to remove them due to their aggressive behavior.
