That was me until I actually got a rootkit from an infected game "crack" and had to wipe my installs and entire system drive.

i'm sure if you update to windows 11 it'll be solved

Same. Fuck fitgirl never pirating from her ever again

Way back in the day I got one that persisted though formats but who's payload didn't activate until a few years later so I just lived with the ticking time bomb.

It could be that some viruses are able to not only infect your machine but also anything that's connected to it like a router of remote wifi connection
I don't even like to think about that being the case for me, it's sounds like a nightmare to get rid of.

>>714960037
do not install from a rar they're all packed with viruses

>>714959919 (OP)
It'll be the same for emulators and roms on PC.

Dont trust fitgirl or scene releases. Just crack the game with your preferred flavor of steamdrm crack, its braindead easy for the average joe nowadays. Usually you can find the unaltered steam rip of the game on cs.rin.ru, make sure it's some dude with 2894398498321 posts, or if you don't trust that then you can just download the game off steam and then refund it.

>or if you don't trust that then you can just download the game off steam and then refund it
that's a good way to do it but if you do it too often you might get a ban for a few months from support
if you really like the game you might just not refund it and use the files anyway to play it without steam running

I finally defeated the Windows Defender menace. All it took was going into safe mode, opening up the folder where msmpeng exe is located, take ownership of it and full control rights, rename it to exe . old, and then restart your PC. No more pajeet overwatch on you PC. Get fucked Microsoft.

you're gonna clown on my for this but some (free) anti-virus apps have Hash reputation checks
especially useful for programs that are not signed due to the dev not having the money to do it
it's a pretty good indicator that others have used the thing with no issues

It's the risk you take when you're third world. It's why I don't want to pirate photoshop and Windows anymore, there's just way too many redflags with installing it. I got very lucky with my pirated Russian Windows 10 when it was new. Never pirating anything except anime/tv shows ever again.

Nothing I want to play is worth torrenting, either everything I value as good is delisted abandonware or just so old even my IPS wouldn't care if I did a raw download of an old version of a game. That or what I want is emulatable or even decompiled.

>>714959919 (OP)
Is it me or since there are less piracy options now the risk has gone up?

>>714967774
There are less options because games have gotten shittier. But more options if you actually go digging back a few years.

>>714959919 (OP)
Windowa defender is malware. Install a virus scanner just to make it fuck off otherwise it will chew through your cpu like nothing else.

Is it true that you retards got infected by fitgirl LOL

>>714959919 (OP)
Oh no! i need to create a new wine prefix!

>>714968091
Given fitgirl, if it even did a malware, it would be a data compression malware.
That person has a SERIOUS compression algo autism, and a malware made by it would be something that compress windows and your files and you everything and slows everything to a crawl... but saves you 100MB.

>>714970903
He's talking about universal steam DRM cracks like goldberg & steamless which are tried and tested and are also already 5+ years old so you can just keep the exact same old crack downloaded for games released in current year. Like 99% of games on steam are cracked this way and the 1% is denuvo or others.
NEVER download a crack-only in the year of our lord 2025. It's pointless at best.

What the fuck dude, Windows is literally free to download from official website
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

And you don't even crack it, the MAS script gives you a legit license (that can and will be tied to your MS account). It works by tricking the OS into thinking you just upgraded from the previous version, so it generates a new valid license. MS doesn't care because 95% of their money comes from corporate clients, and all you're doing is just removing a watermark anyway.

>>714963942
I remember at college, everyone was forced to install kaspersky on their computer or the network wouldn't let you connect. It was fucking annoying, especially for non-PC devices where you had to do some fuckery with the MAC address and hope it worked

>>714974973
>compile program yourself from source
>"Windows protected your PC"
happens with BAT/CMD files too lmao

>>714975078
It's weird because I literally can't think of a use for anti-virus software except for inspecting dubious pirated software/cracks. When else do you run code that you can't 100% trust? If it gives constant false positives for that it has no purpose left

>>714975410
Yeah adblockers and element blockers already do what anti virus software does or come packaged with but better. Anything else you can just block at router level. All they really are good for is scanning and more then often, they suck at that too as they break more shit than fix. I recently downloaded Malwarebytes because I haven't used since I got my new PC more than a year ago. Found no issues after scanning but shit broke my drivers the day I installed it. Had no problems with the PC since I built it and it was the only thing I installed the day it happened.

One thing I've noticed too is they've all gotten more annoying lately, not just Malwarebytes. Fucking random popups you can't turn off wanting you to pay for their service multiple times a day. Some of them don't even give you the option to close and have to wait it out. Its no wonder people stop using these things.
