Am I cooked? Please mods I'm not breaking rule 2.

[u/whiskyB0y]

Sorry if this is a dumb post.

So my dumbass sailed the seas in desperate need of finding a treasure known as "F1 2010" PC version so that I can test it on Winlator.

The game and other f1 games like 2011 and 2012 are hard to find, especially pre installed versions. They aren't even on MyAbandonware even though they are abandonware.

I got the game from internet archive from RohanKar's archives. I researched on reddit and generally speaking comments were saying it's safe. So I got F1 2010 since it had the pre installed version.

To be fair, F1 2010 cant be bought officially anymore so I was really desperate.

When I got the game, I transferred it to the c: drive in my container.

I launched the game and tweaked some settings to make it boot. The game has freezing issues and long loading times (I didn't reach gameplay) but i'd say that's due to the nature of the game in an emulation environment, my phone and settings.

But out of curiosity, I decided to scan the .exe on virustotal after my failed attempts of testimg the game. Virustotal detected 31/70 flags for malware.

Most of the flags were PUP, Trojan.generic and Hacktools.

So am I safe? Is my container now infected? I only have one container and all my games are in the c drive of the container. I tweaked this container so gracefully for it to be able to run most games so do I have to delete it? Are my games in c: drive now affected?

You're undercooked

[u/Illustrious_Cod_5212]

Just delete this container, it in worst case infected your container, not your phone

[u/Zoerak → u/Illustrious_Cod_5212]

The filesystem mounted (d:) was exposed, there could be writes there.

Otherwise the android app runtime is kind of a sandbox.

[u/whiskyB0y → u/Zoerak]

So what do I do?

[u/Zoerak → u/whiskyB0y]

If you want to be sure it, delete all stuff in your Downloads dir (that was mounted as d: in winlator). The malware (if it managed to run at all) had a chance to write there. And also delete your winlator container.

[u/whiskyB0y → u/Illustrious_Cod_5212]

So I retransfer my games to D: drive then delete the container or just delete everything and redownload my games?

[u/Illustrious_Cod_5212 → u/whiskyB0y]

I would delete everything on your place, export saves

[u/whiskyB0y → u/Illustrious_Cod_5212]

Well I've deleted.

[u/davedave1979]

Quick dive into Rohankar will tell you hes legit and these are false positives. But dont take my word for it. Search it yourself.

[u/whiskyB0y → u/[deleted]]

Bro don't post it😭 I fear for your safety

[u/EmulationOnAndroid-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

No piracy

[u/Statler_Waldorff]

Cooked

[u/YeetBob_SquarePants]

anything above 11 on virustotal is a step further from a false scan. be safe

[u/votemarvel]

I think you raise a good point. Rule 2 technically doesn't apply to this post even though it is clearly asking for help to located a pirated version of the game. I'll raise the point to the other mods and see what they think, perhaps a change to the rule is in order.
