why cant we attach rar files?

Actually, you may have found the one compressed format that we did not have support enabled for. However, now that I noticed it I disabled all formats of compressed file upload.

The reasons are:

• Allowing compressed format uploads is inherently unsafe for our users. Someone could unknowingly or maliciously upload a virus or worse...
• Most of the experts on these forums are not going to take the time to download a zipped file to answer a question.
• Documents needing review should be uploaded as such, or better yet placed on a web server somewhere so they can be viewed live.
• A compressed file can still be linked to on another server, just not this one.

I do not know who to ask but as I am new to this area of computing, I have a RAR program now installed in my laptop and every time I try to unzip an RAR file it asks me for a password. I have not inserted a password and do not want to use passwords. How can I open an RAR file without using the password facility
