I wouldn't see how this would work better. .rar being a 'lesser used' compression format, as they say, don't you need WinRAR to unpack it? So...wouldnt less people be able to unpack the virus if they don't have a program to do so? Or does the built in Windows XP decompressor handle .rar files too?
Right, so while these packaged viruses may be spreading, are there really any infections? Seems to me that since it's a 'lesser used' format, most people who would be using .rars would know better than to open one that's an email attachment.
