: Right-click the .rar file and run a targeted scan using your local antivirus program.

: For RVC (Retrieval-based Voice Conversion) models, stick to highly moderated, reputable open-source communities like Hugging Face.

Files ending in .rar or .zip that claim to be voice models, audio tracks, or software are frequently used by bad actors to distribute malware.

: Programs that give an outside attacker full control over your desktop or webcam. 🛑 Safe Extraction Checklist
