    Hi Guys,

    Sorry for Noob question-

    But How do you ensure no Virus is Installed while downloading VSTs/packs etc ?

    1) Do you just download from "selected sources"
    2) Do you check all your downloads in "virus total"
    3) Do you know Disable Anti virus only when "running keyGen"

    Issue : I installed few VSTs from bad/random websites - now Im worried !
    Should I "Deep Scan" and delete the foul ones? all my Lib etc are synced - everything will go into mess.

    Expert, please suggest
    Warm Regards

    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.
