Today I tried to install this file so I could update Acrobat Reader DC only to find that it had suspicious Malware and Viruses within (Trojan and Malware Adware Viruses) to me this needs to be questioned why is such a file even got those kinds of issues in them. As it seems that Window 10 (Microsoft) files are slowly becoming more dangerous to install. And this is not isolated to this file, I even have trouble trying to get certain programs on Edge (Microsoft) online. Please can you find out what is going on, and why these windows files are now becoming virus based.

The presence of malware and viruses in files can occur due to various reasons such as downloading from untrustworthy sources, outdated antivirus software, or system vulnerabilities. It is important to ensure that you download files from reputable sources and keep your antivirus software up to date to minimize such risks. Additionally, it is recommended to use caution when downloading files online and to regularly scan your computer for viruses.

Those pop ups are part of the program and can't be removed unless you buy the full version of the software. I know they're annoying, but this is a limitation of the free version that you use. Many developers choose this method of implementing notifications and limitations.


You can either uninstall the software and use an alternative, or buy a license and remove all those advertisements.

This error is encountered when the registry items are corrupted or they’re inaccessible. To fix this issue, you either install the product again or simply run the application with Administrator access. Download the setup package from the official website for a re-installation or right click the shortcut and choose Run as Administrator.

Answer by Sean Hill

You can consider two options if you still want to use WinZip: either you completely uninstall it from your system and reinstall the trial version, or you can pay for it. An usual uninstall process using the Add/Remove Programs feature in Windows will leave traces of WinZip in the Windows registry and therefore if you reinstall the program it will show that the trial has expired. To avoid this you can use a more aggressive uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller who will search for remaining leftovers, or manually search the registry for WinZip entries and delete them. However, after you reinstall it, the trial will expire again someday. If you consider paying for the full version, you can purchase the software from the official WinZip website.

Although the versions mentioned are quite old, WinZIP works well in Windows 7. You might receive a compatibility warning window when the program is starting but it can be ignored as the program works correctly. Also, if you encounter problems with the file, you might want to try WinRAR as it is able to open a wider variety of archive file types.

I receive messages that say "Upgrades can't be installed" and I must remove WinZip 6.3-8? How do I do this?

Answer by Stephen Prastman

Try using Revo Uninstaller. Even if it can't uninstall the application normally, it will force it to uninstall by wiping out all traces of its presence from the system.


Once the Revo Uninstaller finishes its job, restart your PC, start it again and look for WinZIP in the list. It should be removed by now, but it's better to double check. If the software has been removed from your PC, you can continue to install or update other apps.

How can I use the Command Line feature in WinZip?

S
Answer by Sean Hill

In order to use command line in WinZip, you need to install the WinZip Command Line Add-On available here for free for all registered users:


http://download.winzip.com/ov/wzcline11.exe - for WinZip 9
http://download.winzip.com/ov/wzcline22.exe - for use with WinZip 10.0, 11.0, or 11.1 (Pro Only)
http://download.winzip.com/ov/wzcline23.exe - for use with WinZip 11.2


Download the file, run it and follow the on-screen instructions.


Note: There will be no uninstall feature for this add-on, which means you'll have to manually remove the files if you want to uninstall it (located usually in C:\Program Files\WinZip).

I need to get a new copy or fix my Corel (IMSI) OCR-TRACE software program to work. It has a missing or corrupt file. It says this file is missing: "CTOCRC32.DLL". The program was originally sold by Corel (IMSI) as Corel OCR-Trace, which came on a CD that had an early Corel CAD program on it. You can take a bitmap and trace it, vectorize it, or use the OCR recognition for text. Can anyone help me get a copy or the file I need? Or a new copy of the program?

Answer by Alex Urbach

You can either install the application again, or download the file from Google. If you have a 32bit environment, you need to place the file in \Windows\System32 and if you have a 64bit environment, you need to place the file in \Windows\SysWOW64. Another solution is to copy the file into the installation directory.
