Is MBAM better, or is microsoft defender enough if you download from trusted sources?

Do you consider Nyaa safe? (I’d like to get a visual novel or two that I haven’t purchased on steam yet)

Regarding other games, I always used pirate bay and I’ve been fine, 10 years ago though. Are the website listed in the wiki generally safe?

    I stopped using win 7 2 years go when I got a new PC (I know it was late, but I never needed it before). So even the ones in the megathread are unsafe?

      Not really. They are safe, specially the ones marked with a goat sign.

      Though that said, i HIGHLY recommend setting up the security tips mentioned at the top of the megathread. As a casual pirate, they’ve been more than enough for me.

        do you mean this “Not so fast sailor! Do this first” suggestions, like using VPN and such? (witch is useless where I live, I never heard of any legal troubles tbh)
