How do I know a game I want to play isn't loaded with viruses?
This one confuses me a lot.
15 out of 72 flagged on virus total, yet setup screen appears to work and be the one that the game would have. The files too, are weirdly named (e.g. "lunch.exe") and there's another folder inside of this one and then a subfolder with the name of the game inside that.
Elsewhere I've been called an idiot and technologically illiterate for using virustotal and they explained how a lot of them were under the 'generic AI' category.

How can I test the game out safely? I tried a windows virtual machine through virt-manager with qemu, but 'lunch.exe' simply refused to 'launch' in there.
