Only download the game from Steam , Epic Games , or the Rockstar Games Store .
Files named exactly like SEO keywords (e.g., best-free-game-download.rar ) are almost always malicious.
If you are asked to complete a survey or download a "Download Manager" to get the file, exit the site immediately. 4. How to Stay Safe
If a site gives you a .rar file and a separate password to open it, it is often done to bypass your antivirus software's scanning.
Always use ModLoader or CLEO to install mods. This prevents you from having to overwrite original game files, making it easier to fix errors. 3. Red Flags to Watch For
If you do download a file, upload it to VirusTotal before opening it. It will scan the file with over 70 different antivirus engines.
