  (Not so?) Wild guess: Perhaps/probably the ADB.rar archive contains
the Windows (assuming your 'pc' is a Windows one) (ADB) software
(driver?) for your phone.

  .rar (Roshal ARchive) is an archive format, you probably need
something like 7-Zip (<https://www.7-zip.org>) on your Windows system to
unpack it.

  So try to copy the ADB.rar archive to your Windows system and unpack
it with 7-Zip and take it from there.
