What best practices should Windows users follow when downloading and viewing PHP documentation in CHM format?

When downloading and viewing PHP documentation in CHM format, Windows users should be cautious as CHM files can potentially contain malicious code. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to only download CHM files from trusted sources and ensure that antivirus software is up to date before opening the file. 

// Example PHP code snippet to check if a CHM file is safe to open
$chmFile = "example.chm";

if (is_file($chmFile) && pathinfo($chmFile, PATHINFO_EXTENSION) == "chm") {
    // Check if the CHM file is from a trusted source
    // Check if antivirus software is up to date
    // Open the CHM file only if it passes the safety checks
} else {
    echo "Invalid CHM file format or file does not exist.";
}
