: Only download files from creators or websites you know are legitimate.

: Be cautious of files inside the archive that look like documents but end in .exe , .scr , or .bat (e.g., Document.pdf.exe ), as these are often malware.

Because RAR files can contain any type of data, they are sometimes used to hide harmful content.

: Always run an antivirus scan on the archive before opening it. Tools like Avast or built-in security apps can help identify threats.
