I'm looking for a free rar file unzipper that works and doesn't take over my computer.

I DL'd one the other day to unzip an rar file and it unzipped the file just fine. I stored it in a folder for unloading to my DAW later. Next day, I turned on the computer and this RAR-unzipper had taken over the computer....changed my homepage, installed new tool bars, and the worse thing was.... it would not allow me to log on to this forum.

So I tried a viral scan, that wouldn't run.....I'm thinking Oh &^#*! anyway, I did a system restore before the DL and everything is back to normal..... BUT... the DLL file in the rar-unzip folder is gone..... SO... I need to unzip it again BUT I damn sure don't want to use that same unzipper.

Any recommendations ?

hey did you have anti virus running and it just didnt catch it?..and is it possible you post which one it was so i dont get it? i need one too.
thanks man.   :)

I've also been using jZip for a while. If memory serves, the were some questionable sites that offered it, but also a direct link.
I'm pretty sure I used that, and had no issues.

I assume your problem is not actual anymore but I can't stop myself from recommending B1 Free Archiver - you may download it here http://b1.org. It's 100% free, unzips .zip, .rar files and is clean from viruses or any crapware which might come along. Try it, you might like it.

Hey, I'm under Mistletoe. Form a queue ladies.

I use either 7zip or tugzip

Winzip still works on my 32 bit vista but not on my 64 bits.  It won't just nag me - it won't unzip.

Don't know when they changed but it is almost enough bother to buy the copy.  I don't really have many files to unzip now that the new computer is up and everything is installed.  But I think I'll try 7zip instead.
