IZArc 4.1.7
What is IZArc?
IZArc is a proprietary file archiver for Microsoft Windows developed by Bulgarian programmer Ivan Zahariev. The program is closed source freeware. In addition to the most commonly used archive formats, like zip, rar, gzip, tar.gz, bzip2, and 7z, IZArc handles a large number of less common formats (48 in total, see below). Another distinguishing feature of IZArc is its ability to convert archives into different formats (including CD images and conversion between self-extracting and standard archives).
Overview
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). 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 IZArc.exe. The setup package generally installs about 21 files and is usually about 14.56 MB (15,270,610 bytes).
