Any freeware that can open/unzip .rar files ?

Hi,

I tried zipitfree or something like that. It never unzips the files and only asks you if you want to buy some other software and also keeps on trying to connect to the net and asking if you want to update.

Can someone suggest a freeware program that can just un-rar some .rar files and has no strings attached.

Thanks
