Hi,

Can anyone suggest a free program that I can download to open RaR files. (I tried a free copy of WinRaR, but Bullguard detected Malware). Thanks

 I've been using winrar3.80 off c-net for years and never had a problem.  It's clean and user friendly.

Suppose that depends on the (low) speed of your internet-connection......

My connection speed is running at 1.97 meg. The site I have been using to download the vids is supposed to be quicker, but costs.

 I third that.
WinRAR does it all for free, sure you get the trail end message with the "official" version but you can just click it away and it still works Smile
