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.

Just a reminder to update your Winrar, there has been a big vulnerability in the .10 version of Winrar and some people have actually managed to exploit it. Someone linked an article for it, the other day but I can't find it rn

Please just use 7zip....

(And update that as well)

I switched to 7-Zip many years ago, and then to Linux last year, but thanks for caring. :)
