A game I downloaded after following the Megathread activated Windows Defender. Most searches in the reddit showed that it was a False Positive but I checked in Virus Total just in case and found this. The website was RePack-Games (I read the note but I didn’t find the game on the Goat sites), the game was Dynasty Warriors 8. I’d like to ask what my next course of action is here. The game also wouldn’t load after the cutscene when u select a character.

    Yet another reason I try not to pirate pc games or software (when I can help it).

    If you’re going to do such things, get them from someone you ‘trust’

      movies, music and pdfs/ebooks should be “okay” to pirate though, since they are more read than executable programs, right …

        Not really, even in pdf there could be exploits hidden and I bet the same goes for epub files

          okay I will only torrent .txt ascii-encoded files then and open them in nano, this will make me totally secure.

          … And open all other files I download in a sandboxed-environment
