Piracy

is this file safe?

just got Silent hill 3 from Steamrip and I'm wondering if it's safe to open it.

Umm... Bit defender flagged it as a trojan so it isn't safe, make sure you download it from the CORRECT steamrip site. https://www.steamrip.com/

Well if you downloaded it from steamrip it is most likely false positives, although it seems a lot of antiviruses are flagging the file. As long as its a .zip or .7z file you can download it onto your device, DO NOT extract it yet, scan the zip or 7z with an antivirus like avast, if it says its fine ONLY THEN, can you open/extract the file. Virus Total flags alot of things, and I personally trust steamrip, so I don't think the file is dangerous as long as it was downloaded from the official steamrip site. Take the precautions and happy pirating.

If you didn’t download any fake download links and have ublock origin, plus the file matches the size of the actual game. Then you’re safe.
