First of all i am gonna inform you about UPX. UPX Packer (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables) is a packer that can compress many executable files.It has many different methods of compressing to choose and it's compression is good and fast.Also with this one you can decompress already packed executable file and re-pack it better or let it unpacked ...

O UPX είναι ένας "συσκευαστής" με τον οποιό μπορείτε να συμπιέσετε διάφορα executables.Διαθέτει διάφορες επιλογές συμπίεσης και γρήγορη αποσυμπίεση ενός είδη πακεταρισμένου exe.

 

Guide - How to use UPX

First download UPX packer from here http://upx.sourceforge.net/#download (if you have windows OS then choose the first one).Unextract UPX.exe (only this one we need) in Desktop.Then copy the program you would like to compress in a folder you would like. (for example copy CCleaner from C:\Program Files\CCleaner to C:\test).Then copy the UPX.exe from the folder you saved it and paste it in your program's directory.

Our last step is to compress the target (CCleaner is my target).Open CMD (Command Prompt) and type:

cd C:\test

(this is where my target is , you will put your path to your own target - example : C:\Documents and Settings\xxx)

After you do this one then type this code (in cmd):

for %v in (*.*) do upx "C:\test\%v"

My target is in C:\test , you will have to put your own path - example "C:\Program Files\Name\%v"
