Then I guess we are all screwed. 
Luckily I'm not too worried about it.

Well, a lot of the  PCs in my network have PowerArchiver on 'em. That's kind
of our defacto default archive util.

I understand all this, but the bottom line is that contrary to this article,
just getting an RAR file is not the end of the world. I would venture that a
majority of PC's out there have no mechanism for executing them.
Its just more fear mongering from the press.

PowerArchiver handles RAR files, I'm pretty sure. Yep. Just checked. It has
read-only support for RAR, i.e. it'll uncompress RAR, but won't allow adding
anything back in. There are probably other compression utils that'll
decompress RAR as well.

I have never seen a version of WinZip that handles RAR files and in fact I
just tested this moments ago with version 9.0 SR1.
XP does not do RAR files nativly.

At one point, WinZip would open RAR files.  Also, does XP support RAR files
natively, like it does with ZIP 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
