Vista - poor unzipping performance

When unzipping a 4-5mb file with around 20-30 files it takes a good 2-3 mins
to unzip, avg 19-40k speeds. Onces its unzip im able to copy it very fast,
its just unzipping. Anyone have this issue and if ya did how did ya fix it.


Thanks

I do all of my zipping and unzipping from within Total Commander. It is very
fast. Search Google for it.

Yea, it seems that just recently WinZip has been slow. Maybe it took a hit
from one of the latest Viata updates.

If you downloaded a file from the internet it will have a flag on it
indicating so. That means that when you unzip all the data goes thru your
virus checker. Find the files and right click to show properties. You
should notice a "UNBLOCK" button. Click this and the time will go back to
normal.

I have not found a way to change this flag other than the properties method.

When did this block thing start? I've been unzipping for a long time and
this performance hit just started for me. Thanks for the tip anyway.
