Games distributed in this format often require "cracks" or bypassed executables, which are frequently flagged as Trojans or Ransomware.
If a checksum (MD5/SHA256) was provided by the source, verify that part05 matches the expected value to ensure it hasn't been tampered with.
Run a deep scan using updated antivirus software (like Windows Defender or Malwarebytes) on the folder containing all parts before attempting extraction.
High. "Parted" archives are a common way to bypass basic antivirus scans, as the malicious payload is split across multiple files and only becomes "active" once fully reassembled and extracted.
