I recently created a post talking about antimalware software but after reading most comments I’m wondering am I really safe downloading games from Goat websites (of the megathread)…?

Studying is taking a toll on my savings so even though I haven’t pirated anything for years and years, I’d love to get back at it.

    VPN is not important where I live, Malwarebytes absolutely, if the game is small I’d even upload it to Virus Total but I doubt I can in most cases.

    Regarding torrents, seems solid. The only thing I would like to note is there are only two goat websites in the torrent section, there are more in the direct download section. I’m generally very careful, I doubt I got a virus when I was a teen. FitGirl is still a Goat source.
