The 4zip file compression tool is a product of Woodtale Technology Ltd. and is promoted as a great alternative to paid solutions like PowerArchiver and WinRAR. You can find the 4zip software at 4zip.com, and you may install it along with a free program like LyricXeeker and RambleRoam. Computer users that are working with TAR, GZip, RAR, ISO, and 7Zip file formats might be inclined to install the 4zip application. However, you should reconsider installing the 4zip app because it is a member of the Elex family of cyber threats. The 4zip program is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities that behaves similarly to Z-Zip and ZipperFile. Moreover, the 4zip app may be seen in software packages that are named e7zInstaller.exe and lead users to believe that they are installing the popular 7-Zip file archiver. You should note that the 4zip software might run as a portable application and ensure its activities by modifying the values in your Registry. The 4zip app may be listed as a startup service, and you may be shown pop-up windows from your browser that are loaded with marketing materials as soon as you turn on your computer.
Additionally, the 4zip program may welcome you to install a plug-in to your browser, and handle archive files that you open online. You might see banners and floating ad-boxes powered by 4zip that offer you to take advantage of limited-time deals and coupons at online stores. You may wish to avoid the ads by 4zip because they may feature links to untrusted merchants. Computer users that want to manage archived data with the 4zip program may need to skip a few advertisements before accessing the main program interface, and that may be annoying for most users. The 4zip application may run in your system background while your PC is turned on to provide archive management service with every click you make. However, most users do not need to keep a tool like the 4zip app opened at all times, and the 4zip app may hog up resources that you could allocate for intensive gaming and image manipulation otherwise. You should consider removing the 4zip software by using a reliable anti-spyware tool that can delete tracking cookies and offline data that the 4zip program may use to display advertisements.
