Is Microsoft Defender enough to get games? Also, regarding websites
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?

ofc I can buy it in steam or something, but I'd prefer to pirate. Are the websites in the megathread unsafe?
It's generally safe, but doesn't mean it's bulletproof as sites has been removed from the megathread in the past when they suddenly serve malwares or miners. Just use your common sense when downloading apps and games and scan them before installing.
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.
thank you
