    beware I tried out the new pirated version of Antares - Auto-tune Pro v9.1 and it was infected by a nasty virus taking control over Windows Defender. Had to go back to an older restore point. Still not sure if I'm 100% virus/maleware free

    of course, you can't and should not paste a direct link here.
    but my best guess is that it didn't come from our sister site.

    It was until it was removed. By the way my Defender offline is not working but unsure if this is related to this maleware since I have not used that function in a long time. Quick scan and full scan is working after the system restore. Maybe I do a full image restore but I will test out my system a couple of days

    There is a 530.97MB package available on the net. It has the following folder structure after extraction.

    And the info.txt

    I uploaded all executables to www.virustotal.com and no virus was found in none of the files. So, my question...Is this the release you meant when opening this thread?

    Non scene stuff should be installed and tested before making it available for the whole planet.
    'Oh, do you think some people have the time to test everything ?'

    At least, they have enough time to create $$$ links...

    I remember one friend, he said 'hey, i want to try that adobe audition app'....
    3 seconds after installing it, his computer had more viruses than in the mossad virus department...

    Why i talk about money ?

    Well, it's easy to see there is a real RACE, to mirror stuff and make more cash: i've seen releases with 20+ guys posting mirrors...when the main releaser/poster gets his links deleted, there isn't one single guy with a working link...BECAUSE, instead of downloading and uploading files, in order to have a different link than the original poster, EVERYBODY copies and mirrors the links from the original OP...as a direct consequence, when the original op gets his links deleted, the 20+ guys who copied and pasted the same links, EVERYBODY gets their links deleted as well ! 20+ mirror guys, and no way to find a working link!

    What a shame, really. I understand people might do it, if it's a 90Gb kontakt library, but when it's a 10mb file, is it too hard to dl and upload their own shit ?
    it's a real race: everybody wants to be at the top of the page, and make more money.

    When we think we almost lost r2r, because of the mirrors. ..

    i had this. i can say the thing never worked for me damn it i cursed my self and the windows 7. I'm talking about this stuff this is from a youtube video and it should be probably 6 or 9 months old. I've to check again. but I'm sure i had this release. i was so excited but then it never worked. and then i got waves 2018.10 version. I'm still happy with waves. though I'm not a rapper anymore because no mic and no money. but besides i use less plugins day by day and try to work with less stuff. because i think less is more. and yeah this is probably virus infected for sure. thanks for letting this fellow brothers know

    The archive I downloaded today was uploaded to mediafire in april 2019. Maybe some idiots added a virus to it and rereleased it on rutracker.

    Maybe you can send me the rutracker link per PM so I can make checksum check if they are both the same!

    Why don't you have fun installing viruses in a virtual machine OS, instead of your main OS?

    OK....I now finished the CRC32 Checksum between the rutracker version and the version I've downloaded from mediafire.
    All files exept "Auto-Tune Pro V9.1 [NO ILOK ACTIVATOR].exe" have the same checksum. So it seems the rutracker version is different from the version I've downloaded, even if the folder structure is the same and the info.txt has a few differencies.

    Now I'm a little bit nervous...should I try it with my version, or should I dont do it? :yes::no:
