CRC failed in file name.

Hello.
I have a situation where the WinRAR program stopped working. I cannot open .rar format files. I get this error message: CRC failed in file name.
How can i remove the error or what should I do?
Any suggestions ideas would be great.

A CRC error indicates that some data in your rar file is damaged. CRC stands for cyclic redundancy check.There are many possible causes for data damage. Among the most common is a transfer error when downloading a rar file from the internet. Such an error can introduce invalid data into a rar file. Some other possible causes include exposure of media to excessive temperatures or magnetic fields, cross linked disk sectors, and mechanical problems with disk drives.The best solution to the problem of a damaged rar  file is to try to obtain another copy of the file. For example, use your backup copy of the file or get a new copy from the original source. If you obtained the rar file by downloading it, then downloading it again will almost always solve the problem. Read more info here: http://www.winrar.repair/
