Then I guess we are all screwed. Luckily I'm not too worried about it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Aldrich Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 11:53 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ??? New Virus & .RAR files
Well, a lot of the PCs in my network have PowerArchiver on 'em. That's kind of our defacto default archive util. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 2:51 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ??? New Virus & .RAR files 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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Aldrich Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 11:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ??? New Virus & .RAR files 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. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 2:34 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ??? New Virus & .RAR files 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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fretz Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 11:09 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ??? New Virus & .RAR files At one point, WinZip would open RAR files. Also, does XP support RAR files natively, like it does with ZIP files? -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 12:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ??? New Virus & .RAR files So how do you open an RAR file if you don't have WinRAR installed? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sabo, Eric Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 10:25 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ???

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.
