Yeah, it's similar to a zip file.  WinRAR seems popular, but there're a bunch of programs out ther that'll open them.  Just ask google or something.

I use 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org) to do all of my file crap, such as .rars.

Winrar kinda sucks. 7-Zip is probably a good idea. Although I am not a good choice for opinion on this. I mostly use linux.
