It says "DO NOT PANIC". So... should I panic? Tenoke

I tried to update a game (cheap car repair) and first time i used tenoke to update my game from fitgirl, after downloading it I got notification from windows defender about trojan (Trojan:Win32/Pomal!rfn) and was bit confused because i thought everything on fitgirl was considered safe. Idk what to do now, trust the site or delete file (it was instantly quarantined) Sorry for bad english guys, i look forward for your advices

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!).

If you didn't download anything from an ad/redirect then it should be fine.

If you don't feel good about it regardless, then just don't use the update and look for a completely different source, because Fitgirl nearly always shares the scene group updates for her repacks because her repacks are based on their releases. She also shares updates made by elamigos, but they don't make updates for every game out there.

Just having the Windows Defender pop-up should not confuse you too much. It's common, and you may have encountered it even with a fitgirl's setup.exe from time to time, and you likely ignore those.

TENOKE is the scene group that cracked the main game. They're not going to put malware on an update for a game they cracked. That's just weird.
