Just makes me laugh when companies use software like this (my last one actually did use 7zip). I'm not a security expert, but these days, I don't see the need to use such software, personally.

Still using and have been using WinRar for decades. Going 7-zip would feel like cheating on my partner. There are pretty neat skins for it as well.
Ditto ...

there no need to use any of these cause "windows" can do for us?! other the fact i completely hate windows interface for this and how it works for same reason people dont use certain products cause there interface among other things. as for "vulnerability" most this stuff dont effect people in anyway yet it people make big deal out of it

What are the best alternatives to this program besides WinRAR? I'm curious if I should try something else.
Bandizip even better maybe

Easy fix... just delete / rename 7-zip.chm and done.

True, but it is free, multi-platform and the 7-zip is built-in, not a plug-in like in TC.

Powerarchiver.

Thanks for these suggestions. I actually downloaded and installed Bandizip and will try it for a longer period. Powerarchiver is not free it seems and even Bandizip has chargeable advanced features. Here are yet two free options I found which I have not tried myself: Zip Free Zip Archiver I have noticed that these days there are many free programs for various purposes that actually might do things better than the most common option people have got used to.

This brings back memories and WinZip. WinZip and Windows 98 in college.

I am tired of hearing about these vulnerabilities. I will take my chances and continue using these programs. I highly doubt hackers would be interested in my UltraHD pawn collection. They have better targets with money lol not me.

Welcome to the botnet sir... We'll take a look at your banking info too once you type it in. :D. I just use winrar, but this "security flaw" seems mild.

Of course people need to use their common sense a little if a vulnerability is really a great or even a considerable threat. People even think that not having latest security updates on your Android phone is a big deal. If you are really interested in security, you will likely first learn about it and then invest in it. This case of 7-zip likely truly hurts nobody, but let people decide themselves how they wish to proceed, and I also do not recommend to blindly follow others' actions either without first considering things yourself.
