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.

    You have your file associations set incorrectly or at least not optimally right now. NFO files are text only files that usually tell you about what you just downloaded, your system is set to treat them as something else and did the wrong thing. Text only files are usually harmless.
