You need to download WinRAR to extract it.

Here is a good link where you can download winrar for here: http://bit.ly/1BooiXa
You can use winrar to decompress zip files and a bunch of other formats. Other good programs are 7zip and winzip but in my opinion winrar is the best one. Fuctionalities are pretty similar for all programs: basically you can decompress a file simply by right-clicking it and by choosing the destination folder.
Winrar is available for free under a trial licence. The good thing is the trial period never ends so you can use it for free with no limitations.
Winrar opens all formats like .zip, .rar, .7z, .iso, .tar, .jar etc. That's why I recommend it.

Sure!
The RAR file format is an archive of other files, and is similar to the ZIP format.
You can use:
WinZip http://www.winzip.com
or
WinRar http://www.rarlab.com
They are both trial programs, but you can use them indefinitely without purchasing.
Alternatively you can check WikiPedia

for a list of other programs which can open .rar files.

The program you need is called Winrar its just like Winzip and the two open alot of the same file types as well. You can download it for free from download.com or filehippo.com.
