Wobzip.org: Extract zip files online - Review

                    Downloading a zip file? Worried what's inside? Is it containing malicious files or key logging applications? Or if it contains any self executable programs which will silently install on my PC as soon as I extract the zip file? Or downloaded a zip file but don't have any extraction programs installed. Well here wobzip.org is your solution. Everyone knows about winrar, winzip, 7zip which are the most popular compressed file extracting programs, but the doubts I stated above are very straight forward. Cause none of the extracting application comes with a powerful built in virus scanner. So why take risk ? Just try Wobzip.org, an online file unzipping service. The website wobzip.org is very popular because of its

1. Easy to use interface

               As you can see the home page of the website is too much easy to use & neatly designed. Just one Adsense ad banner & no irritating pop ups. As Wobzip says

You have a folder of funny images to send to your friends. The image files are large, so you compress them into, for example, a .rar file thinking, that you can share your files with your friends. However, your friends say that they do not know how to open the file. So you direct them to WOBZIP.

             Get the DIRECT LINK of the compressed file to be compressed. Direct link means http://www.domainnameofhost.com/zipfilename.zip. Those who are downloading from any cyberlocker service such as Mediafire you have to use the direct link of the file and not the Mediafire download link. Means if you enter http://www.mediafire.com/ada45dsd5ad4 as the link in the URL box it will just show you an error. To get direct link from Mediafire just right click on the download button of Mediafire download page, copy link address & paste it on the URl box of Wobzip. It will work. Only & if only your zip file has any password to unzip it then enter the password in the password box else, leave it blank. After you are done with these, click the uncompress button. Now the zip file will be uploaded to Wobzip's server for extraction purpose. Note one thing the file is being uploaded to Wobzip's server, not in your PC. So you are safe from any infection that might have been caused by downloading it in your PC. Here is the screenshot of their upload process

# Second, the upload & unzipping duration will depend will take time as the size of your zip file. After the upload & decompressing you will be taken to this page on where you can see the files extracted.

Now you can download the files of your choice & be safe. Your decompressed files will be kept for 3days in their server & you will be given a link to see the files extracted which will work for that 3days only. Wobzip allows a file size limit of 200MB which is pretty good.
              I personally liked their service as blazing fast, good interface & safe. They run donations & earnings from Google Adsense. So be a kind hearted & please donate if you liked their service. [You will  :)]
