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.

PowerArchiver and some other "zip" utils will also decompress RAR files.

So how do you open an RAR file if you don't have WinRAR installed?

Subject: ??? 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.
Thanks
