PKZip for Windows 8.0's improved integrated help system now provides informative and easy-to-follow help screens. We wish PKZip hadn't opted for a fancy icon rather than the traditional check mark. It wasn't easy to tell what state they were in from their subtle graphic indication, and the pull-down menu option didn't make it obvious, either. One complaint: We found the toggle keys for turning on and off encryption and signing confusing. You can even encrypt files already in an archive-nice. The filename-encryption option, available by right-clicking, also protects your filenames from snoopers. One nice touch in this version of PKZip is its ability to encrypt files with a single click. PKZip for Windows 8.0 offers a wide range of configuration options

For example, the terms of a legal contract in the Microsoft Word format could be sent without individuals being able to modify the contents of that file. Using these centralized controls, a network administrator can lock down program options for encryption, digital signing, and zipping of e-mail attachments so that individual users on a network cannot change them. PKZip for Windows 8.0 also includes many configuration options, including a centralized administrative control module.

To use PKZip's digital-signature feature, however, you'll first need to obtain your own digital certificate. There's also a digital-signature feature that allows recipients to verify that you sent them an e-mail message.
