WinZip security flaws

[MrLinus]

So, there is no such thing as maximum security after all?!?

Depends on how you define "maximum". If you mean the highest that you can provide, then yes it does exist. If you mean 100%, then no, it'll never exist and isn't possible. Anything that is done in security will mitigate the risk but will never 100% eliminate it. Everything has a certain amount of risk, whether it's large or small.

Nicely written, MsMittens... Thanks

I guess I'll start learning to aim a "MAXIMUM", huh? A goal I will surely do and get serious about.

Note: About the RISK, well it's always there, right?

Yup. Risk never goes away. Usually you do one of the following:

• Accept the risk
  Mitigate/reduce the risk
  Transfer the Risk

if u want a real program with very little or no problems or exploits in it i suggest u get and use winrar 3.42 the newest version... i used to use winzip and hated it with how slow and shitty it is... after a while of using winrar i found that the zipping and unzipping of files is very quick and easy to use and never had any problems with using it... plus i just made a zip file with over 30 packs of notes and other zipped files included and it compressed them into a zip file in a matter of seconds and not minutes...
