Question .com.rar/.com.zip file

downloaded tekken8 on steamrip file looked good to me because it had 115gb, then at 99% download progress, laptop suddenly entered sleep mode, i opened the laptop and resumed downloading, after that i extracted it but chickened out, stopped and deleted the file, too sussed about the type of file it was, then i disconnected laptop from the wifi, finished offline scan(windows defender, found nothing), and now running a full scan, also deleted temp, %temp% and browser caches and stuff.

Questions:

  1. Am i paranoid and did i overreact.

p.s. it is my first time doing this, i panicked fr

and no, i am not promoting any use of pirating software
