WINZIP = H_MOR_HO_D IN ONE'S PCAt the start of 2024 I "tried out" Winzip for 3 weeks; used it once and rejected it. WINDOWS, one of the stink-richest firms in the world, have still not stopped harassing me. Now their unasked for ads have taken an insulting tone.Despite their semi-monopoly compounded by by building in backdoors to their OS so that e.g. the CIA could spy on its users around the world, enough is never enough for them. Once they are on yr computer, you are stuck with them.Why is Winzip's marketing strategy (like er...hemorrhoids) sadly all too typical of Microsoft? This is a product costing only £10-80 / year. Yet its omnipresence is not a fair business practice; a form of stalking / bullying; MS flaunt its monopoly.a) 2.24 I tried out Winzip for the 3-week test period during which I made use of it ONLY ONCE.B) Since then it has proved -- AFAIK -- impossible to get rid of its presence.ONE CANNOT GET IT OUT OF ONE'S pc.FOR EXAMPLE:1) yesterday (May 25th) 6 out of 32 symbols on my desktop were about -- you guessed it -- Winzip despite the fact that through 'Settings' I 'uninstalled ' Winzip in February. Or thought I had.2) At least once a week, there is a 'push notification' on my screen which can only be eliminated or moved (sometimes blocking key items on screen) by RESTARTING the system. That is despite changing the specifications re 'Notifications' in 'Settings' on 9th April.Leafing thru Google, it is clear that many other ppl have felt the same way about Winzip, and they wondered / are still wondering what to do about it.I guess when I die, Winzip will still be there as an unwanted intruder in our PCs.Below Trust Pilot ask for date of experience: it began 2.24 today is 25.05, and it'll go on for ever apparently.
