For a thorough check, I can suggest the following: download the archive (this cannot infect your computer!), extract it into a "sandbox," then check all the files from the archive and repack it back into the archive within the "sandbox," and see how the antivirus reacts.

I can say right away that it is difficult (and probably impossible) to place a virus inside the archive itself (its structure, format - rar/tar/zip/cab) and infect a computer simply by opening the archive (at least I don't know of any such cases, nor do I know of any tools capable of doing this). For a thorough check, I can suggest the following: download the archive (this cannot infect your computer!), unpack it in a "sandbox," then check all the files from the archive, and repack it back in the "sandbox" to see how the antivirus reacts. In general, it's a shame that the forum doesn't support the Rar format; it's a fairly safe format, unlike Zip, and the antivirus reacts to it (without reason) much less often, although it supports it on par with other archives.

Basically, I downloaded the archive on the same computer now (using the database from 05/26/2024), but the last time, it didn't even download (I'll especially highlight this for Mооnst@r), because Kaspersky Endpoint Security blocks the download of malicious content... so, that's how it is!

P.S.S.

By the way, doesn't the fact that you have "Object not processed/Access denied" written in Russian in your "My Music" folder in your two screenshots bother you at all?!

Sometimes it sees, sometimes it doesn't. It's surprising how much attention is paid to my folder and how little attention is paid to the antivirus, which can't detect threats/non-threats. I wonder why? Could it be that this has happened before? What's going on with your folders and what's inside them?

I don't understand... what does "not for the first time" mean?! I saw it, I wrote about it, you have a strange reaction... instead of thanking the person for being vigilant, you don't... well, it's a purely personal matter, as they say!

This isn't a mod. Just something I made out of boredom, using artwork by Olivier Ledru that was included in the artbook and other bonus content for Heroes 5. I adapted it for use as loading screens for mapmakers. The archive contains 8 images in 1024x1024 png format. Maybe someone will find a thematically suitable one. Below are screenshots of the archive's contents.

Combined the dialogue (video clips) and all campaign loading screens for HD format into one mod. The buffalo skull loading screen for scenarios and multiplayer maps has been reworked from 1024x768 to 1366x768.
In my previous PWL HD mods, all texts (campaign name, mission number, map name, and map description) remained in 1024x768 settings. Now they are configured for HD, full screen. All files in the mod have been given the year 2124 so that it doesn't happen that you install a fan-made scenario or multiplayer map with a newer date than usual for the mod, and its PWL overwrites the buffalo skull and stretches it (incorrectly) to HD.
Fan-made campaigns use the screen of standard campaigns. There is no buffalo skull there, just a black screen. To prevent the images from stretching incorrectly, I made another PWL with the buffalo skull to overlay all images in fan-made campaigns, as well as for scenarios and multiplayer maps.
In short, all fan-made maps (old and new) will always have the buffalo skull, which is a drawback of the mod, but now there is no disproportionate stretching. It's better this way, lol. This is the final PWL HD.

I can't test the mod. If something is displayed incorrectly, take a screenshot and write it here.

Thank you, esteemed colleague! This is a very useful mod.
