My spotlight is acting a bit scatchy, it shows every program as a rar? archive.
Did a rebuild of the index file. Did a repair permissions.
Who can Help me?

I have this same issue. It goes away after a reboot, but comes back afterwards. Did you manage to solve this?– malvimApr 25, 2014 at 2:39

This is open bug known by Apple, as mentioned by rei_vilo Mar 28, 2014
Temporary solutions might be:
- Permission Repair with Disk Utility
- Rebuild Launch Services Database
sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed - Restart the SystemUIServer
killall -HUP SystemUIServer - Rebuild Spotlight index
sudo mdutil -E / - If installed Parallel Desktop turn off "Share Windows applications with Mac"
Restart the SystemUIServer
killall -HUP SystemUIServer
Reboot into Safe Mode
Boot holding ⇧, login, wait a bit, then reboot normally.
