MajorGeek says: WinRAR is an excellent program for opening, creating, extracting or even adding files to your ZIP and RAR files.I have been a user of WinRAR for as long as MajorGeeks has been around and then some. There are some decent competitors, especially in the freeware market, but I have yet to find one that can do all WinRAR does and as smoothly. Windows built-in extractor is slow, limited and awkward so anyone who has to frequently open ZIP and RAR files will find themselves looking for a better alternative. If you?re one of those people and are willing to support shareware then this is an excellent solution.
