I have an older version 2.8, I believe. It has the nag screen but still working fine. I believe it is much better then winzip. Handle more compression formats then winzip. Comresses files better(faster and smaller). If you uninstall WinRAR. Right Click on a zip file.(Might have to hold shift key down and right click.) Select Open File with. Choose Program. Find Winzip in the pop up box. Highlight Winzip. Check the box that says "Always use this program to open these files" Click ok. You should be off running back to normal.
