If the scans are clean but you remain suspicious, use an archiver to view the contents without running them. Are Zip Files Safe to Open?
To look into "Midnight-Driver.rar" safely, you must treat it as a high-risk file until verified. RAR archives are often used to group multiple files, and while the archive itself isn't inherently dangerous, the files inside—such as executables ( .exe ), scripts, or macros—can execute malicious code once extracted.
Note: If the archive is password-protected, VirusTotal cannot see inside it and may return a "clean" result even if the contents are malicious.
Before extracting anything, use multiple scanning engines to check for known threats.
Right-click the file and select "Scan with Microsoft Defender" (Windows) or your installed security software. Step 2: Inspect Without Executing
Upload the .rar file to VirusTotal. It will scan the file against over 70 different antivirus engines.
