1. If it's version 2 beta then, open KGB archiver, browse to the folder or file you need to compress, right click the file and select Compress.
   
   
   
   
2. Increasing compression level also increases the time takes to compress the file and the RAM memory used
   
   
   
   
3. Add more files or folders if you need using files to compress tab
   
   
   
   
4. SFX option allows you create self extraction archives which will extract the files or folder to windows TEMP folder or a folder you choose and run an executable (.exe) file if you need. This will only work if you have selected the option in General tab
   
   
   
   
5. And wait for the compression processes to finish

KGB Archiver is an open-source software. I have installed both versions and didn't find any problems. It's a false positive. KGB Archiver version 1 is clean.

Good one ......................

I am still confused. I have seen game/OS files with a file size of Giga Bytes compressed in to a megabyte or less. And they were in .zip format not .kgb. The downloaded files were working perfectly. So they were not fake.

I tried to compress the same file in KGB Archiver in maximum setting and the result was a files size of 100 MB or more. I even tried to rename the .kgb files to .zip files and that didn't work either. How is this possible ? Is there any other way or software to compress files like that ?

nothing personal but what is the need of that time wasting compression S/W? and too when storage media is so cheap.

Storage media is cheap, but Internet is not. Imagine if you can compress a 2 GB file into a 1 or even 10 MB file. Then you can upload/download the file in minutes/seconds and with very little data transfer.

PS, It's hard to not believe after seeing this kind of compression in action many times. So far all the results are leading to KGB Archiver or 7 Zip, but I am going to keep searching.

I was initially excited by the KGB archiver. But the product does not work - or rather - it will require a massively parallel architecture based super computer.

How much (approx.) time will it take to compress a 4 GB file ?

I tried de-compressing a 4 GB and it took less than 1 min on my 1 GB PC.

surely this software depends upon RAM.if u have more memory then u can compress faster otherwise it will tell thousands of hours.

For eg. my pc has 1GB RAM and i can't compress using maximum rate.
and i tried in a 3GB laptop i compressed at maximum rate and it told only 30 mins.

How to compress file 4gb to 4mb check the link i posted it
