WinRar v3.4 download user reviews: (1 total) Add new review From: anonymous The competition between file compression utilities is fierce, and WinRAR is a solid contender. Like WinZip, it archives files and extracts them; unlike that program, WinRAR saves its archives in RAR format. That format can typically compress files around 10 percent more than .zip files, which can come in handy if you're working with a large multimedia file.
Even though the program saves its own archives in its own proprietary format, it can handle .zip files--as well as most other popular compression file formats (ARJ, CAB, LZH, and so on). It can handle .zip files up to 4GB. This version includes the ability to email compressed archives, as well as a new feature that unpacks your compressed files to a temporary folder and scans them with your installed antivirus software.
To prevent extraction of dangerous files, this version of WinRAR introduces the option to exclude certain file types, such as .exe, .scr, and .pif.
