VPN is not important where I live, Malwarebytes absolutely, if the game is small I'd even upload it to Virus Total but I doubt I can in most cases.
Regarding torrents, seems solid. The only thing I would like to note is there are only two goat websites in the torrent section, there are more in the direct download section. I'm generally very careful, I doubt I got a virus when I was a teen. FitGirl is still a Goat source.
because it affects the performance of games? For instance I play MMO and I don't need anything security software related running while I play, am I thinking wrong?
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.
do you mean this "Not so fast sailor! Do this first" suggestions, like using VPN and such? (witch is useless where I live, I never heard of any legal troubles tbh)
I stopped using win 7 2 years go when I got a new PC (I know it was late, but I never needed it before). So even the ones in the megathread are unsafe?
I see now thank you
