A game I downloaded after following the Megathread activated Windows Defender. Most searches in the reddit showed that it was a False Positive but I checked in Virus Total just in case and found this. The website was RePack-Games (I read the note but I didn't find the game on the Goat sites), the game was Dynasty Warriors 8. I'd like to ask what my next course of action is here. The game also wouldn't load after the cutscene when u select a character.

I do not know about this specific case, but many cracked copies are true false-positives. Only 28/74 flagged it as malicious. Sure, do your due diligence, but in general it'll be picked by antiviruses as malware.

Community score being 36 makes me think this might be a well-known crack. Check the community tab there, see what the comments say.

Try to contact someone with edit permissions on the megathread wiki and provide proof of the malware to get that site removed from the list if you have time.

You shouldn't need to make a post, just private message a sub moderator.
