Title says it all . Are there any free ones out there or do I need to spend some money for WinRar?
Thanks to all in advance

7-zip is freeware, and opens also RAR.


http://www.7-zip.org/

The version I'm using is newer than that one, and I see there's now an even newer version.  This note is simply to second that, yes, 7-zip works nicely opening RARs.

Please, do the world a favour and don't use 7-Zip. 7-Zip, while it does work, does not use the standard zip compression. As a result of that, you can open all zip files, but others are not always able to open your zip files (created with 7-zip).

Why not stick with WinZip for zips, and WinRAR for rars?
