: Many .rar files labeled as trainers contain "Trojan horses." Once opened, they can install software that steals your saved passwords or credit card info.

If you are looking to enhance your gameplay experience without risking your hardware, consider these safer paths:

: A file that is only a few kilobytes or megabytes but claims to contain high-res "mods" or "DLC" is almost certainly a script-based virus.

: If the .rar requires a password (often "123" or "password"), it is likely doing so to hide its contents from your computer's automatic virus scanner.
