Is it Safe? Yes it is safe to use, as for it is it any use thats a personal preference. Winzip is a file extraction utility firstly. Half the other tools that it has aren't really of much use. Registry tweakers are a giant waste of time, system cleanups can be done either using WSA features or other free utilities.

Hello and Welcome to the Webroot community!
 
I agree with Roy 100% WinZIP is good but I would not use any of it's utilities for the reasons Roy suggested. Also if you install WinZIP be sure to uncheck any unwanted add-ons or PUA's during install: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/40744
