Ever since I had to reformat my harddrive I hadn't the need for a Zip file utility. But with my new build I need the utilization of a Zip File utility in order to upgrade and flash the BIOS of my new motherboard. Any good, solid freeware out there - that you trust doesn't have ad-ware or malware - or is WinZip about it? Thanks.

I think you are rigth, Madman. I did a search and every freware out there comes "packaged" with advertisement. Epox BIOS updates come in Zip format.

WinRAR is pretty good, it allows you to open both zip and rar files, with little to no ads.
