Sorry... but we don't use winrar to compress @_@... we just compress files with rar's algorithm, because it's much better than zip's algorithm, and you can still use 7zip to decompress, who forces you to use winrar to extract ".rar" files???
I know you've read about winrar's security somewhere on the internet, and you're acting knowledgeable... But no, you're not knowledgeable at all, these things are completely different. You can use dozens of other tools, even windows, to extract ".rar" file, and it has nothing to do with winrar. Do you know that?
He didn't say to not use WinRar... He said to not use the propietary rar. ... Which is the very same rar algorithm you're talking about! Yes, rar is proprietary! YOU are the one who doesn't know what you're talking about!
And by the way, if you're gonna use a compression format, you should use 7z, which is open-sourced.
