it's shareware for 30 days apparently, but, when trying to use it, it pops up an ad and says "i just searched 10,000,000 passwords, do you want to register to see the results?"
Does anyone know what i can do to get my files back?

There are winzip p/w crackers out there; just have to look for them

As far as I know, the Zip compression password protection involves shifting around the encoded (zipped) file around.. That being said, it's almost equivalent of the RSA encryption: it's a one way easy-solvable problem... To backtrace the solution without the key/password would be in NP-hard. Which means we are unaware of any algorithm that can do it in polinomial time... So unless your zip file is veeeeery small and your password - very short (in which case you can brute-force though it with an appropriate program in matter of few hours/days at worse), methinks you're stuck... Sorry
That is, unless you are talking of some other form of protection that "winzip" offers...

If you still have some of the original unzipped files, there are password crackers which can crack it in a relatively short period, can't remember the names though...
If not, you, as k.k.d. wrote, have little chance of ever seeing those files again.

"zipfix" should do it. Search Kazaa for it or something.
