This is done to prevent a malicious web page from executing existing files on a user's computer. It also implements additional checks within the web notifier. WinRAR uses https instead of http in the web notifier window, home page and themes links. We are thankful to Jacob Thompson - Mandiant Advantage Labs for reporting this issue.Ģ.

We already prohibited extracting contents of such malformed archives in WinRAR 6.01. It is done to prevent possible attacks with inclusion of ZIP archive into the signature body. ZIP SFX module refuses to process SFX commands stored in archive comment if such comment is resided after beginning of Authenticode digital signature. On-line scammers like these guys should be identified as a warning to others contemplating any transaction with them.īetter programs from honest companies include 7 Zip, B1 Archiver, Extract Now and many others.

The new key did not work and the e-mail was so aggressive and unresponsive that I have decided to just pay the money and devote the next 10 years to leaving informative reviews about WinRar and their handler Clearbridge anywhere and everywhere I can. They forwarded another key and chastised me for attempting to get a refund for a product that did not work. The e-mail from WinRar was rude, unhelpful and ignored the overcharge. WinRar responded by contacting me in an e-mail outside of the Paypal dispute resolution process. I had paid through Paypal so I accessed their dispute resolution process after I was repeatedly unable to get a response through WinRar directly. I bought the software at a 'special' price of $20, was billed $29 and then discovered that the license would not 'attach' to the software and, therefore, was useless. The software works adequately in 'trial mode' although it has security problems that are daunting.
