Free unzip software?

Does anyone know of a good, free unzipping program for Windows 7?

I don't have Windows 7, but according to this article it sounds like you shouldn't have to install software.

I use Win.RAR http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm and have for a long time.

 This is another very popular program. http://www.winzip.com/wzfeatures-zip.html#sub-nav

These two programs come with a free trial one of 30 days, and the other 45 days. They both cost $29.

I am running Windows 8.1

I would worry about security using a free program of this class. A program like this would not be easy to use.

Thank you, Caffeina.  That did the trick.  This was for my aunt.  I couldn't understand why she was having issues.  She just needed a little extra step.  Thanks again.

Thanks nutmeg!  WinZip was the first one that came to my mind.  I will keep your other suggestion for a just in case situation.  Thank you!
