If you google for "freeware rar extractor" [without the quotes] you will
find more than you can ever use. Almost any of them should work fine with
any version of W7 but if you find one that won't try the next one on the
list...

I use Free RAR extract Frog:

Works fine in W7.

Having recently been in your position, I discovered that 7 zip was the
best of those I tried.

Was not crazy about this one because it extracts to a subfolder of where
you are. There is a complicated way to tell it where to extract to but
I think 7zip is easier to use.

Use Peazip. It will open, read and extract the following:

why not use

It is not totally freeware but at least for extraction you can use it.

J-Zip. Based on 7-Zip but with a Winzip like front end.

Once I started using it, I've not looked back. Joy!
