Notes about the SIT file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The SIT file type is primarily associated with 'StuffIt' by Smith Micro Software. StuffIt provides compression solutions for your Mac or Windows PC as well as your PDA and SmartPhone. Allume Systems, Inc. has taken over this product from Aladdin Systems, Inc. Smith Micro then acquired the product.
