What is actually best for opening a .rar file? 7-zip or WinRAR. I am recently installed OS 7 in my PC and looking a good one to open .rar file.
WinRar and 7zip both are good with the only difference that 7zip is a freeware and Winrar is trialware.
Thanks for the response.Now clear about the difference between 7 zip and WinRAR .Keep it Up.
I don't think so that this one is as big problem as you are telling about this one. Any user with common knowledge can do this without any hazard. Also can be easily run it and you can done work on it upon your files.
7 zip is a free tool to unzip different type of files including rar files.
In Windows you can open and make .rar files with winrar (free demo, pay when you want to use it longer), ExtractNow can unrar the contents but can't make .rar files.
He only wanted to open rar-files, so 7zip is the best option for free.
Winrar is gonna nag you for money after some time.
