WinRAR is not free, 7zip is.

I downloaded Winrar from the offical site, now here is the thing.

It gives you a free trial and then says after a certain amount of days that you need to pay for it. However, beyound giving you a message whenever you use the program, you can close said message and continue to use the program with out paying... so just go to http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Winrar+download and find the link for the download and install :3

I see what you did there.

Anyway that message is annoying (yes, it is supposed to be so you'll buy it), that is why I suggested 7zip. If you are just a regular user who would like to zip/rar/unzip/unrar a file now'n'then you won't feel the difference.
