    A coworker once called and asked where to find 7-Zip.

    Every damn variation of the name would have led a Google search to the website. But he had to call.

      Funny enough, searching for winrar leads to some other site than rarlab.com so they might be stupid and have 2 sites or there is malware out there

      The windows online software sources situation is crazy. Like why the hell do random websites offer downloads?

      Edit: rarlabs.com redirects to rarlab.com which is the correct site. Wikipedia to the rescue

        As opposed to adding a random url you grabbed from an answer on a forum and throwing that into your sources?
