Version 4.3 which is the latest, has a clean installation file which does not check to offer companion "probably unwanted" software. It is a very good option. An interface which looks similar to Winzip, but freeware and not bloatware.
I sent FileForum a request to update their reference to version 4.3.

IZArc keeps being detected as a virus by Avast. What gives?
Zoroaster reviewed v4.2 on Nov 23, 2015
Too late for me. After the problems encountered with previous versions when I had considered this application as the best in its category for years, I discovered BANDIZIP, clean, modern, efficient, complete. Now IZarc comes back ... "Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river, for I cried a river over you" : didn't really cry, just trying to give a style to my words. But that's the idea!
Rating is a neutral 3 -- Won't try it again. Our affair is of the past :) Good luck, sweetheart.

I used to prefer this over 7-zip until the newer versions started installing bad stuff with it. Now I prefer Haozip because it's basically a freeware Chinese ripoff of WinRAR.
Zoroaster reviewed v4.1.9 on Aug 25, 2014
I'm sticking with IZArc 4.1.7 until I find an alternative.
IZARc 4.1.9 does not have the install problems of 4.1.8 but now it wishes to replace system files. Not to say it continues trying to let OpenCandy operate (if it weren't for a bunch of OpenCandy urls sticked to 127.0.0.1 in my Hosts file).
Fed up with this problematic pain in the neck application. Will be searching for a clean, civilized archive manager.
EDITED : "IZARc 4.1.9 does not have the install problems of 4.1.8", not "4.1.7"

Difficult to review as the main file IZArc.exe (4.1.8.2988) will not run on my system (XP SP3 updated). Version 4.1.7 and previous versions run fine.
I have downloaded IZArcInstall.exe four times:
File size 5,23 MB
MD5: d232b6131c2150ecb8657c404629daf2
The error window I get says:
Application Error
Exception EInvalidOp in module IZArc.exe at 000032A1.
Invalid floating point operation.
I hope the developer drops in and sees this.

While here it is offered the online version, on IZARC's website, the file with the same name is the full offline version.
confusingly, the first thing you need to do during installation is to agree to the terms of the SWEETIM toolbar. avoiding this will cancel the installation of IZARC. Yet, even after you agree to the terms of the SWETTIM itoolbar, you'll get a second message to choose whether to agree or to decline the installation of SWEETIM. Choosing "Decline" wlll allow you to install IZARC without any unwanted companions.

On-line installer is hanging :-(
I can't find the off-line installer.
Zoroaster, could you give some more tips (yes, I checked in the encyclopedia)?
Thanks
Cuelebre reviewed v4.1.7 on Jul 20, 2012
Where is the offline installer? And a warning on IZArc webpage about false virus alerts? No problem with prior versions, but this one is suspicious.
Edit: Answer -> OpenCandy
Curiously, nothing about OpenCandy is reflected on the list of changes of version 4.1.7. And I think this is a GREAT change. Better get rid of IZArc and move to Peazip or 7-zip.

Please help me fall asleep smarter than I woke up:
Why an on-line installer for IZArc 4.1.7 ?
I don't like on-line installers, but I like IZarc. This is a cruel dilemma.
Love is in the air ... :)
Rating concerns former IZArc 4.1.6, at this time..

EDIT :
I managed to find the off-line download url (my education only allows me to say the site has something to do with encyclopedia), and the new IZarc is nicer than ever.
The install did mention in the TOS that OpenCandy would be of the lot during installation. Here as elsewhere just add to your HOSTS file :
127.0.0.1 opencandy.com
and no candy :)
Sticking on 5 stars, this archiver remains my favorite.

Very useful!
After years of using this program, I've nothing bad to say about it. Good archive support, but my favourite feature is ISO format conversion. It has saved me a lot of trouble.
uzi reviewed v4.1.6 on Aug 19, 2011
My favorite by now.
I have experience with Winzip, WinRAR, 7-zip, ZipGenius, and IZArc. I prefer IZArc over the others even though each has its own advantage.
Latest version (4.1.6) is much better than former ones. If you tried formaer versions and didn't like them, give this one a try.

Best archiving tool out there. Have tried many but nothing came closer with regards to decent UI, loading or processing speeds. Updates to the programs have slowed down over the years but that could be because there is nothing new to add. Thanks to the author.
