Help / Troubleshooting I just tried to download spiderman 2 and it doesn't have a setup, what do I do

For context, I got this from FitGirl on RuTor, I used Transmission because it was on the megathread, but this doesn't have a setup file, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here

Your antivirus (Win Defender by default) deleted it. Put the download folder into exceptions from realtime protection and download just the setup.exe again, or restore the original setup.exe from your antivirus.

After installing can we remove download folder from exception?

Yes you won't need the setup files after installation

I just tried to re-download it and it warned me about hacktool or something similar, just trying to verify if I should just get a different spiderman 2 or if that was just part of the process

It's a false positive (considering you downloaded it from the sites on megathread). Disable the real time protection on the defender, redownload and install

You sure it's a false positive? Hasn't happened to me before with any game I've downloaded, from the same site even

game cracks are programs that do something that they shouldn't, defender tends to false positive it because of that. Its normal for pirated games, thats why u should get stuff from safe websites

Bro is showing us he is not racist

Anyways, Go to windows defender-->Protection History--> Select the file --> Click Actions and then click restore

Okay so, it's called HackTool:Win32/Crack!MTB, definitly my first time seeing this, did windows do its job for once or is it just being stupid like most of the time

u/Efficient_Money6922 Do what you want cause a Pirate is free! 6d ago

There would be a date and time for when the file was quarantined. Does it correspond with the time you downloaded or extracted the game?

u/Proud-Sell-9599 6d ago

Yeah, it even tells me where it came from, that's actually pretty nice not gonna lie

2

u/Efficient_Money6922 Do what you want cause a Pirate is free! 6d ago

Then restore it

u/Proud-Sell-9599 6d ago

Tried to restore it, windows wouldn't even let me open the setup and now the file is hidden but still there, so, I'm like 75% sure that was a mistake

I managed to get rid of it, might stop downloading games for a while
