This has got to be the best free rar software out there. I love that it comes in a 64 bit too. And it can open just about any zip and compressed file I want or get. I have tried others but I always come back to this one in the free market. I have tried the WinRAR and it is a great software, but for the price of it compared to this being free. I guess I will just stay with this. I follow a few forums and I usually stay with the updates except the beta I don't do in a lot of software. But if you have not tried this one. Take a chance on it. And the install and uninstall are a breeze. So no worries.
