Should I have scanned the extracted folders rather than the rar file itself? (even though it shows network communications and mitre signatures?)
I ran an antivirus outside the VM and nothing was detected luckily. (I had already extracted the rar files, but just scanned the rar itself)
Yes, scan the potential malware directly (exe, dll files). Not all scanners support extracting archives.
No it's fine, clearly it did extract the rar file and run everything.
