    Defender shouldn't do anything to already installed cracked software; anti-viruses would only detect custom installers, keygens, and such. Tron, well, back up your data and run at your own risk.

    From their reddit wiki:

    [...] Before you run Tron, be aware that the act of cleaning/repairing your PC can inadvertently disable your PC in the process. Your data may or may not be recoverable. If you choose to run Tron anyway you absolutely must be prepared for the possibility of reformatting your hard drive, reinstalling Windows, and recovering your data from a backup. [...]

    All depends upon the installed files.

    The original downloaded rar, zip or exe files are the ones that will get flagged and/or nuked. These should be on another drive that is set to be excluded from scan.
