If I use webroot to scan a compressed or unextracted ZIP/RAR file, will it scan everything within the ZIP/RAR as well?
I ran a scan on a RAR and it said no threats detected, but I’m not sure if that counts everything within the RAR, too.

Scanning ZIP/RAR Files?
Best answer by jhartnerd123
Webroot doesn’t scan within compressed files. But if you take action on that file and begin to extract something, and that has a threat, Webroot will take action then.
Compressed files like RAR, Zip etc.. are harmless anyway until something is extracted and executed.
Hope this helps
