Hi forum folks,
Anybody with a WinRAR version 3.0 up to 3.50 are vulnerable to an exploit that can give full control to outside malcreants over your computer, they can get access to passwords, creditcard numbers, delete essential files so windows does not function, or delete files at will or take your computer over to be part of a zombie bot.network. Look at your version in about RAR, if you are vulnerable update to your language version of the version 3.51. Go to http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Warnings are out on several official governmental sites, so the hole is a major one. Better safe, then sorry. If you are good at security, you keep updating what is on your machines that needs updating.
