.rar files are an alternative to .zip files. Some people prefer them to .zip files. Windows ca open .zip files as standard. It cannot open a .rara file on its own. You need a special program for that There are a number of them available on the web. Most of them are not free BUT, 7-zip from
here (you need to download the .exe file) is free for use for ever.
Install this program on your PC.
Download the .rar file to your PC. Right button mouse click on it and select 7-Zip and then extract files. Follow the prompts and there you go.
.rar files, like .zip files can sometimes have a password attached. If this happens then you need the password before it will extract the contents. This is usually a way of trying to get money out of you.
