Acubix PicoZip 3.0 Improves ZIP File Security

September 9, 2004 - Acubix announces the release of PicoZip 3.0, a feature-rich file compression program for the Windows operating system. PicoZip makes it very easy to create and manage ZIP files, as well as many other popular archive file formats.

PicoZip 3.0 comes with an integrated backup feature that makes it extremely easy to perform routine backups with just two mouse-clicks. The powerful batch processing capabilities in PicoZip allow you to perform various actions on many compressed files at once, removing the need to perform these tedious repetitive operations manually.

PicoZip 3.0 lets you create new compressed archives as well as add, extract, view, and delete files. In addition to ZIP files, it supports other popular archive formats like ACE, ARC, ARJ, BH, CAB, GZ, JAR, LHA, LZH, RAR, TAR, WAR, ZOO and many others, without using external programs.

PicoZip 3.0 adds strong 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption capabilities to secure the data in your ZIP files. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) selected AES as the standard for both U.S. government and private data encryption. PicoZip can work with all popular antivirus software to scan compressed files for viruses.

PicoZip 3.0 integrates with Windows to give you direct access to most of its features in the right-click context menu, allowing you to use these compression features directly from within other programs. You can also create self-extracting archives that can extract their own contents without PicoZip being present.

PicoZip 3.0 has an easy-to-use interface and is very intuitive. Other enhancements in PicoZip 3.0 include support for 64-bit extensions to the ZIP file format that removes all practical capacity limitations and a toolbar skin feature that allows you to customize PicoZip's toolbar to your personal taste.

System Requirements
PicoZip 3.0 will run under Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The program requires 32 MB Of RAM and 7 MB of free hard disk space.
