Most antivirus I tested, even the paid ones, are so annoying with popups and complaining about cracks that I just take the risk and go without em
You’re not going to find an AV that doesn’t flag modifications as virus/malware. That’s kind of the definition of malicious behaviour by a program.
Hell, Windows itself will overwrite changes you make to certain exscutables/dll’s, etc, with its own file protection system.
Test your cracks in a VM. Then use them as needed, or do the cracking in a VM.
How do you know they’re false positives?
Windows defender claimed they’re bad because they are cracks, and doesn’t mention any reason it thinks that would be a virus/trojan or something I dont want
“HackTool:Win32/crack” from games downloaded on fitgirl repacks site (the correct one)
If u are on Linux I recommend using firejail on the executable
i don’t think that’s possible mate for 2 reasons :
- software companys pay antivirus software makers to flag and remove game cracks
- cracks use obfuscation and workaround techniques that are similar to whats used in viruses so most flag them as mallisious
Just don’t use one. Just don’t download anything dodgy and you’re golden.
