I’m trying to download a specific plugin for my software, but my windows defender triggers every time the torrent finishes downloading the Keygen. Have I stumbled upon malicious files (I recall torrenting a program with a keygen that did not get quarantined by defender) or is the antivirus “too cautious”? Is there any way to know if they are safe anyway?
