I downloaded a file the other day but it has the .rar extension.

I do not have a program to unarchive this file, please can anyone tell me what program I need to unarchive it ?

Thanks

Just checked it, seems fine to me? Try running ad aware, sounds like you've got something redirecting you...
I keep getting sent to Search Result whenever i type an address in, it's drivin me nuts (I remove it every day with ad aware but it keeps comin back!)

I use winrar also, no more winzip for me. :)

Winrar is so much nicer, you can really compress files.

Thanks guys that was really helpful.

I've now downloaded WinRar and it works perfectly to unzip my .rar file.

Thanks again for your quick response.

I can now download MP3 albums via Emule no problems, saves downloading one track at a time! :D
