Hi Guys,

UPDATE - I formatted "C" and re installed windows. Can't risk after I read someone lost his bank account to virus.

Can someone please suggest/recommend to below Method -

1) Use browsers like Brave etc - use Ad blocker
2) Only download from Top sites like - audioz, rutracker, 4download
- any updated list to follow? Also can we download from "not-so-good websites" as long as we run it through VirusTotal?
3) Run the downloaded file through VirusTotal
- but here limit is 650 mb, any workaround?
4) While installing we have to put Defender off - since it deletes KeyGen
- any recommendation here exactly what to do?
5) Is it ok to put "Non-window drives" on Defender Exclusion list ?
6) Do "Library files" also need scanning ex: kontant lib

Any more Inputs, welcome please.

Installing Good plugins is nice, but Safety is high priority!

Thanks

I am no expert, but maybe you could PM (private message) any interested expert with the details of WHERE and WHAT you downloaded.
As a matter of fact, you can PM ME with that info and I can help you at least get your info prepared for someone who might know best.
They may want more info, but at least having the basics prepared might help.
The reason I suggest PM is to keep the forums free of conversation regarding non-official stuff.
