Is it really sketchy if you torrent a file that by default it is an unpacked folder? (rather than just being a zipped folder)? I'm not sure if I should be concerned if it is able to run anything or gather data since it was unzipped by default. It contained a monkrus.info file that seemed to gather all the data for some reason.. (I think)

Thank you.

If something pops up that you've never seen before, just search online for what it is. If you don't know what System Information is, literally search "what is system information windows" and find out. This can be done for so many things and you don't have to wait for an answer.

Additionally, in the "Open with..." dialog on Windows, you can see that System Information is the default application for .nfo files. Just change it to Notepad or something and you'll never have this problem again.
