Hi, i have downloaded a program that i need from the internet.

The program downloaded as a .rar file... when i extract the rar, it extracts as several zip files...

Can some one give me some advice as to what i need to do next. Do i need to mount these zip files or what do i need to do, thanks in advance...

ZIP files are simply archives (like RARs). Double click them and they will decompress.

Ok, but the initial rar file extracted to 11 zip files, and the 11 zip files seem to contain rar files... do i just need to keep extracting them all

Apparently. Where did you get this from? Do they not have a more convenient means of distributing their content?

Sounds distinctly suspect to me.
