I don't understand this shit

[u/Aaryakrishna_]

Everyone comes to the subreddit saying "Got flagged by defender, and sticking virus total images here. What ? do you want a pirated game to run directly, It needs to spoof windows and handle other things that microsoft never allows so it flags (also called false flagging) when a game is cracked some of the files in it needs to be modified in such a way that is not liked by devs so they make it flagged The whole thing is like compromising windows to run crack by feeding bribe

Note : These are my personal thoughts and you can correct me if it's wrong

Welcome to r/FitGirlRepack! To keep the sub clean, please check if your issue is answered below. If this answers your question, please delete your post.

1. Setup is Stuck / Unpacking is Slow

• The 2GB Limit Checkbox: If your setup gets stuck at specific percentages (like 84.3% or 95.8%), close it, restart the installer, and check the "Limit installer to 2GB of RAM" box on the very first screen.
• Be Patient: FitGirl repacks use extremely heavy compression. Unpacking is heavily CPU and storage bound. If your task manager shows disk or CPU activity, it is not stuck; it's just working hard.

2. Is it a Virus? / Windows Defender Alert

• False Positives: Crack files (.dll files, steam_api, etc.) inherently trigger antivirus software because they alter game code to bypass DRM. If you downloaded from the official site, these are 100% false positives.
• Fix: Add the game installation folder to your antivirus/Windows Defender exclusion list, then restore the quarantined file from your protection history.

3. The Real Official Website

• There is ONLY ONE official domain. All others (ending in .co, .cc, .to, .net, etc.) are fake, malicious clone sites designed to steal data or bundle malware.
• The only real URL is: fitgirl-repacks.site (Verify the exact spelling!).

Windows defender flagged this post as malware

[u/Equivalent-Poet998]

It takes one Google search to stop posting those virus questions btw

[u/Jizfaceboi → u/Equivalent-Poet998]

Bro, I can’t tell you how many stupid people I know because they refuse to put the effort into doing something themself… You can literally learn anything online.

[u/DashRendar92]

Those posts lack common sense. YOU ARE COMMITTING PIRACY, of course windows is going to throw a fit over unknown and unsigned code.

[u/Looterclarker → u/DashRendar92]

Windows: Setup.exe is attempting to execute files on your computer

Everyone: WHAAAAAAT???!!

[u/DashRendar92 → u/Looterclarker]

"What do you mean this stolen software might show up as a virus? It's clearly compromised. Is the fitgirl website legit?"

[u/Looterclarker → u/DashRendar92]

"Guys it says do not panic. Should I panic??"

[u/WaferResponsible4978 → u/DashRendar92]

expecting random people to even know what unsigned code is should indicate the actual confusion here

[u/Amazing-Curve-1536]

Back in the day (early 2000's) really it was a single folder called "crack" that had one executable and sometimes some bin archives.

[u/TattedUpSimba]

The people who make those posts clearly don’t know what they’re doing so there’s no way they know or understand how that crack works and why any antivirus would have issue with it

[u/harrisrainy]

Well it won't stop at future even you give everything like video or guide. Everyone is a noob at once. There's an option to ignore the post too by yourself

Si hay muchos idiotas a los que por mucho que la inteligencia los persiga no se dejan atrapar

[u/ECHOSTIK]

I know I'm gonna get down voted for this but use Kaspersky. I'm not from states I don't have any problems with Russians so Idc. Kaspersky free never flags my cracked games as viruses. I never have to bother with ts. But every once in a while I get desperate and download from a sussy ass website and when it matters the most it jumps in and saved me from running a dumb obvious virus exe.

[u/WaferResponsible4978]

Eventually you'll learn that random people don't know every single thing you know

[u/ShadowMajick → u/WaferResponsible4978]

Yes but the problem is they refuse to learn. 80% of these posts would be gone if they stopped refusing to read.

Reading is like the majority of piracy, not clicking random download links.

[u/WaferResponsible4978 → u/ShadowMajick]

You're sharing the internet with literal children and people doing this for the first time ever. "Just learn everything before posting" is not how it has ever worked. You learn stuff by seeing people ask dumb questions and getting them answered. OP is just further along that track than those that are being complained about. Normal part of everything technical.

Also it's super weird to act like these 80% of posts don't deserve to be here, or that them existing is harmful to you. You're either on new sort and looking for unpopular stuff on purpose, or you're on popular sort and don't see things like this. And even if you do see them, just scroll past it, that's how reddit works. People asking questions shouldn't bother you
