If you don't have Compressed Archive Format, you can also do a Google search to see if there are other free software packages that also open files with the BZIP2 extension.

Pro Tip: Consider whether you really want to buy expensive software to open a once-off file, or whether you want to risk possibly installing malware with a free software package.

However, if your computer is working just fine and you simply receive many binary files for which you don't have the appropriate software, you could download a universal software viewer.
