If a supposedly "large" game or software is only a few megabytes in a .rar file, it is almost certainly a virus. 🛠️ How to Handle Suspicious Files
In Windows, ensure "File name extensions" is checked in Folder Options so you can see if a file is actually named 00.rar.exe .
.rar files are archives that can hide executable viruses ( .exe , .scr , .vbs ).
If you didn't specifically search for a niche archive, trash it.
Use Malwarebytes or Windows Defender to scan your system.
Only download files from official developer websites or verified platforms like Steam, GitHub, or the Microsoft Store.
Upload it to VirusTotal to check it against 70+ antivirus engines.
