Legal & copyright notes

1. Bypassing Security Scanners: Email providers and browsers often block direct .exe or .msi files. Zipping them compresses the file and changes its signature, allowing it to slip past basic virus scans.
2. Bundling Malware: The .zip rarely contains just a streaming app. Inside, you’ll often find the promised “setup.exe” plus a secondary payload: keyloggers, crypto miners, or ransomware.
3. Obfuscation: Users are trained to trust .zip files because they are commonly used for legitimate software installers. Hackers exploit this trust.
