It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about. Currently, there's no
such thing as a Rar virus. There can be programs archived by Rar that might
contain a virus, but Rar compression itself cannot infect your computer. If
you're going to be warning people about Rar files, then you might as well
warn them about Zip, Cab and every other unpacked program in the market.
