Depends on the online site

Stick to something reputable, such as winzip's own site and you'll be fine

Hang on - download a winzip file? Sorry

It's as safe as downloading any other file from the internet. Virus scan it and it's contents when you unzip it.

Download from the winzip site and make sure you scan the zip file before unzipping and scan the files after unzipping (just to be on the safe side)!
