WinRAR 7.10 Enhances Privacy by Limiting Windows Metadata

The latest WinRAR update restricts Windows' Mark of the Web (MoTW) data to improve privacy during file extraction.

By default, only the security zone identifier is retained, omitting details like download URLs and IP addresses.

Users can adjust this setting in "Settings > Security" to restore full MoTW data if needed.

New WinRAR version strips Windows metadata to increase privacy bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu The Mark of the Web security feature contains unnecessary personal info, which WinRAR can now delete while leaving the Zone ID intact. I eagerly await this enhancement coming to 7-zip and PeaZip, which were latecomers to the whole Zone ID feature. #WinRAR #MOTW #security #privacy
