which game?

its not hard to obvuscate malware those scanners just compare file heuristics of known/old malware litterally do an xor on something new and it wont detect it otherwise it might find some api call in your script that is sus and call it on that

You deserve to get viruses

>>717638363
Only ransomware and direct attacks ever do anything these days, and the former only succeed with retards and clueless normies.

>>717637708
The virus is hiding in the code cave right?

Bet you thought the iron maiden was a real device that was used.

Remember after 4chan was immediately back from the big drama and jannies were deleting all frog pictures? The fuck was up with that?

And get with the times, Bitdefender is the best anti-virus nowadays

I used to pirate like crazy back in the day, ps2 and pc games alike. But now I've gotten scared by stories of people getting all their files encrypted by russians asking for bitcoins that I've dropped my game pirating down to like 90%. I'm seriously considering getting a gaming laptop just to go back to pirate till my heart's content and use it exclusively for it and nothing else. If it gets hacked and encrypted, I just lose games and that's it, nothing else would be stored in the laptop, no photos, no passwords, nothing. That seems to be the only path if you've gotten to grow into a scaredy cat like myself.
>no bro just VM it
Not risking it, I've been hoarding too long to lose it all to pirated games.
>inb4 just do back ups
I do, but still I don't want to get kinkshamed by hackers for my lewd collections like handholding and stuff

What OS are you using for all this pirate plundering?

>>717637459 (OP)
Didn't read; shit thread
Fuck you

>>717641994
I pirate stuff from rutracker almost daily. just dont torrent obvious garbage.

>>717642263
its one thing to pirate stuff like music and movies where you just have to pay attention to the files extensions that are just .mp3 or .mkv, and quite another to pirate stuff you have to run .bat files, run shit in administrator mode and the likes. I too pirate movies and music like its nothing, but games I consider it a different matter entirely.

If you're not downloading a game from a sketchy ass site you will never get a virus. Windows defender thinks cracks are viruses and is completely worthless. Also, just use www.ankergames.net. It's the easiest/best site that is safe.

I once made a "hello world" program in visual studio, built it and uploaded it to virustotal, 3 detections. Decided to spice it up with some extra variables and conditionals, got up to 7 detections
Pretty sure these antiviruses just flag anything that doesn't come from a mainstream vendor, they don't actually have any intelligent methods to determine malware other than virus definitions (digital signatures of old malware)

32 out of what? 60?
most AV software share virus definitions, so it is likely a false positive. anything involving cracks tends to get AVs riled up

>>717642858
There was a glitch where WoW addons started getting flagged, and they are just text .lua text files. I made an addon a long time ago and I had like 3 retards messaging me telling me I should be ashamed for trying to give people viruses.

>>717642785

I think AI is starting to ruin anti-viruses too. This shit has managed to make my .txt file extensions stop working now.

I keep up with my windows updates so I never get viruses loll

What's the Switch Emulator you guys are using?

>>717637889
Yarrrrrr it gamin time

>>717641994
Kek that is what I do if I get some nasty shit that bricks the laptop I just shut it down and drop it off somewhere in public so it's someone elses problem.

>>717637459 (OP)
Serves you right, you pirate-ass motherfucker. You deserve everything bad that happens to your computer.

>>717644737
A bunch of files that I have had on my PC for years suddenly started getting flagged as suspicion with ai.18385 on it (Numbers at random)
Shit is annoying

>>717637459 (OP)
piracy just aint worth it anymore, too much of a minefield if im being perfectly honest, better off waiting for steam sales

>>717646047

you can't find anything on a rar until it's unzipped it's a common trick they use to sneak it into your system
never download rars
