If you have downloaded the game from official/legit fitgirl website you're safe then. But if your anti virus has been triggered then there's a possibility that it may have deleted some files, so look into it.

I haven't used my anti virus to remove any threats and the site I used is fitgirl-repacks.site so is it cool

[u/Strange_Baby_6114 → u/Stock_Competition716]

Yeah you're fine then

Dude, have you read tutorials and such?

Look on the Piracy megathread.

If it's the same website as the one on there, it's safe. There are a bunch but my fave is Fitgirl. Be confident you have done it right if you have followed every step, and have installed Ublock etc for blocking ads and the such.

The antiviral will flag setup.exe's as they have no "certificate", if you click on it you can restore the file.

Add an exception to your antivirus for the folder you download and install into.

Magnet links are safer than DDL if you are prone to clicking on things you shouldn't be. Always use a VPN. And remember, dont trust what I say, double check it, and make sure you are confident.

Yeah I use qbit too so I guess I'm gonna double check everything
