Yes, downloading raw .exe files from the Internet is a security hazard. Doesn't Vista tell you that?

This is the first patch, and only the second file that I've come across in RAR format. Every other file that I've ever downloaded has either been non-compressed or in ZIP format. So, I really don't want to have to bother with a trial version of a software program that I have no intention of purchasing in order to extract a single file.

ZIP is old; RAR is the new way of doing things. Also, if you do not know how to unRAR something, you probably should not be messing with game patches in the first place.
