7-Zip 15.12 x64

Overview

7-Zip 15.12 x64 is a software program developed by Igor Pavlov. It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The primary executable is named 7zfm.exe. The setup package generally installs about 12 files and is usually about 4.71 MB (4,941,193 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 51% of users of 7-Zip x64 come from the United States, it is also popular in Italy and Germany.
