Is MBAM better, or is microsoft defender enough if you download from trusted sources?

Do you consider Nyaa safe? (I’d like to get a visual novel or two that I haven’t purchased on steam yet)

Regarding other games, I always used pirate bay and I’ve been fine, 10 years ago though. Are the website listed in the wiki generally safe?

    thank you, don’t pirated games always trigger antimalware software (if so, isn’t it pointless to scan them)? Forgive me I’ve not been pirating much for the past 10 years.

      The scanners should tell you the reason they flag a file. If it’s marked as trojan, obviously don’t run it. Cracks are usually marked as crack by most antivirus.

      You can also upload the flagged files to virustotal to see what other antiviruses flag the files for.
