: Once the archive is opened, it may contain an executable masked with a folder or image icon. Running it can compromise your system, steal passwords, or encrypt your files. Immediate Safety Recommendations:
: While .rar is a common compression format, it is often used to bypass basic email or browser security filters that might flag an uncompressed .exe or .scr file.
: Remove the file from your computer and empty your recycle bin.
: If you interacted with the file, run a full system scan using a reputable antivirus (like Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, or Bitdefender).
