Same way as .bat files can contain malicious code yes.
Luckily .ct files do not execute code by default when loaded, so you can check the code before executing and look for things that might harm your system.

@WayneMC, can WinRAR archives, 7zip, WinZIP, whateverZIP, FreeArc archives contain infected files?

Can .docx, .doc, .xls, .xlsx, .vbs, .cmd, .bat, .mp3, .jpeg files contain malicious code?


Better download CT files only from this forum or other trusted sites.

Good old .bat files with format c: instructions.

I still check the contents of a bat file before I run it.
