.bin file extension hijacked by VLC player

Hi everyone,
I just installed VLC player and apparently it changed the regular .bin file association to VLC Player and now I can't install any new software packages that have a .bin extension.
Is there any way that I can restore the original file association or remove VLC player as the default app for .bin files?

Thanks,
I just got a new macbook yesterday and I'm new at this

- Do Get Info (Apple-I) on the File
- Select "Open With..."
- Select your application
- Click "Change all..."

Done!

Thanks,
But what is the correct application that should be associated with the .bin extension? What do I change it to in order to install .bin packages?
