Solve : .rar.exe files?

1.	Solve : .rar.exe files?
Answer» An ONLINE friend gave me an address from which to dload his pics. I have 7zip that allows me to open RAR files. However at the site the file is LISTED as rar.exe. Is it safe to dload files with exe extensions? Will my 7zip open it? Thanks in advanceFiles with double extensions (especially if the second one is .exe) are very SUSPICIOUS and almost always dangerous - they are INTENDED to trick you into double clicking them. Many people don't change the default Windows Explorer behaviour of hiding extensions (many people don't even know about it or understand what an extension is) and these are easy targets for malware. This online person does not SOUND like much of a 'friend'.
