it seems the ones on rutracker are pretty old (2023 and below) do you know if teamos [dot] xyz is safe?

I installed 7zip if that made it appear (not sure if it is the case though) Yeah I may have to just pay for subscriptions with money I can't afford :S

Should I have scanned the extracted folders rather than the rar file itself? (even though it shows network communications and mitre signatures?)

I ran an antivirus outside the VM and nothing was detected luckily. (I had already extracted the rar files, but just scanned the rar itself)

Thank you for the reply/advice. I am curious, how would that make a difference for a direct download?

is it rsload (dot) net, org, etc.? I couldn't find it on the megathread or from other treasures links. However, I did see this on Wiki Index's list of unsafe sites

RSLOAD - Uploaded the same version of malwarebytes that got FileCR in trouble / Utorrent malware

Why is that? (because I can use it for other things afterwards?)

Astute Graphics plugin (about 628MB)

Thank you for the reply. I'm curious what version you use? (like 2025, 2020, or even earlier) Can anyone who uses AI confirm this? I just want to be sure.

Yeah that is true, thank you for the advice.

Thank you for the fast response and for looking into the zip file. How would I know if it has a virus or trojan if I ran it in a VM? I read somewhere that it can hide itself/deactivate certain parts of itself if it detects it is in a VM
