Tzip

Posted: April 26, 2016

Tzip is a piece of compression software whose purpose is to allow PC users to work with a large number of compression formats like ZIP, RAR, .TAR.GZ, etc. Having compression software installed is important, because many people use to compress files to reduce their size and make them easier to upload and download. However, Tzip may not be the best choice if you are looking for a compression software because this application is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by many anti-virus product vendors. Tzip has an official website from which users can download the software, but this may not the main distribution technique that Tzip's publishers use to reach consumers. The Tzip application may be propagated with the help of software bundles that use misleading installation instructions to trick users into accepting Tzip's installation unknowingly. Furthermore, users who have Tzip installed may experience annoying issues with this application, because of its tendency to launch with Windows automatically, and take up system resources. Tzip isn't threatening, and there's no reason to be scared if you see it on your computer even if you don't remember agreeing to install it. In fact, Tzip does work well as compression and unzipping software, and using it will not harm your online safety and privacy. However, if you don't need Tzip, and it appears on your computer unexpectedly, then you should remove Tzip with the assistance of a trustworthy anti-malware application.
