Understood, but I guess the point is that you need a tool to do this. This article makes it sound like anyone can be exposed to this and that once the RAR file makes it past the AV, its all over. That's far from true.

New Virus & .RAR files A co-worker just dropped in to mention this new and improved virus that is using archive files called .rar as the attachment. I don't have a lot of information, or even a link right now, but I didn't see anything at Trend's web site and was wondering if anyone here had heard or seen anything.
