Scanning Files before unzipping
WinZip®, starting with version 28.0 and 76.5, will now allow you to scan the files you plan to unzip before you unzip them.
After you open a WinZip file with WinZip, you will see a button in WinZip's Actions pane. If you click "Scan for Threats", assuming you have one of the following anti-virus applications installed, WinZip will then tell you if you have any files infected with a virus or malware.
The supported anti-virus applications are:
- Microsoft® Defender
- BitDefenderTM
- McAfee® Total Protection
- NortonTM 360
- SymantecTM Endpoint Protection
