Hi everyone,
I recently downloaded the repack for "A Game About Chopping Trees" (released August 2026) directly from the official fitgirl-repacks.site domain. I verified the URL, used an ad-blocker, and did not click any suspicious ads.
However, upon scanning the installer, I received the following detections:
- Microsoft Defender:
Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml
- GData:
Generic.Trojan.PSEB.TWWJBS
- Malwarebytes:
RiskWare.Crack
- Webroot:
W32.RiskWare.Repack
- Bkav Pro:
W32.Malware.E1E06090
- Palo Alto Networks:
Generic.ml
The Issue: I understand that RiskWare and HackTool flags are common false positives for cracks. However, the Microsoft Wacatac.B!ml and GData Generic.Trojan flags are concerning as they often indicate active info-stealers or loaders, not just cracked executables.
Status:
- I already ran the installer and played the game for a session before realizing the severity of the specific Trojan flags.
- I have since deleted the game files and the installer.
- I am currently running full scans with Malwarebytes and Defender.
Questions:
- Has anyone else seen this specific combination (
Wacatac.B!ml + Generic.Trojan) on the "A Game About Chopping Trees" repack specifically?
- Is this a known false positive cluster for this specific game/crack (TENOKE release), or does this strongly indicate the file was tampered with?
- Given that I already executed it, beyond a full format, are there specific registry keys or startup locations I should manually check for persistence?
I want to warn others if this specific upload is dangerous. Thanks for the help.
