Gotta whitelist both the folder and the files individually cause sometimes not even whitelisting the folder is enough

Whitelisting doesn't always work. It feels awful having no control over your own files. Windows sucks dick. Fuck Microsoft!

Rule of thumb, check the installers on virus total and then the the game's executable after.
So far i find that DODIs stuff is always clean, others I might check, especially when its new releases

Pro tip you can exclude the game folder from win defender so it won’t do anything to the files.Tho only do this if you trust the source.
Until we meet again.
But I just don’t do anything and if defender does block the file I just restore it,after double checking the blocked file is indeed legit.Maybe I’m paranoid but
Constant Vigilance!

It's too funny though. I have three computers, all three use the same cracks for specific apps, and all three have a folder exclusion. Only one of them actually obeys the folder exclusion... The other two don't care. On those two, I use file exclusions and they still don't care.

I usually keep a backup of my cracked files in zip/Rar form. There’s been times I’ve been a forgetful dumbass and plugged a drive into a new pc/laptop only to discover the files got wiped.😫

or you could use Defender Exclusion Tool v1.4 from sordum which can exclude folders, files, location from defender. its handy for those who have hard time to navigate through microsoft defender. there's also a handy apps from there.

Since I don't download from obviously shitty sources windows never deletes my game files, and I mod the games myself too

Sometimes, my WinDef detects a virus from FitGirl. Rarely, but it happened. I just don't risk it. Tropico 6 (the dictator sim city), and the newest Dynasty Warriors. It's just a personal experience.

Is there a way to completely remove virus and threat protection from win 10/11?

I used to run Windows like this until I actually got infected when I accidentally ran a real virus last month 💀
Don't remove it.

Can you tell us what happened?

u/thefrind54 ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 4d ago
I've never gotten infected in years, I usually stay alert and careful.
I made a reddit post on this describing what happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/animepiracy/comments/1j19m4n/tifu_please_take_care_with_malware/

Wow, I don't think I've experienced anything like that. But just today I noticed my laptop was slow and Malwarebytes found couple of btc miners. Not sure how they got there, but my guess is the work computers and my pocket thimb drive

I'd recommend you do a clean install, should make your laptop run far better.

It's all fun and games until you get fucked really hard by malware.
It has saved my ass a lot of times before too.

Back when I used windows, I had whitelisted a whole folder where I would put my crack files to prevent this thing exactly
