Get winrar I think you can find it at rarlabs.com if not search for it. Just make sure when you install it, and open it, it associates with .tar files (it should by default).

If you want to just untar it to another server (unix/linux) use:
tar -xvf filename if it has a gzip extension use gzip -d filename.tar.gz;tar -xvf filename.tar BMF |

winrar rocks, but you can also rename it to .zip and open it with Winzip (unless I'm confusing .tar with .jar extentions)

tar -xvf filename.tar
if it's .tar.gz, just run this first: gunzip filename.tar.gz
