if you only use reputable crackers/repackers youre not likely to get a virus. fitgirl is my go to. she has so many games the only times she hasnt had a game its been a very niche indie title, and buying those supports real developers not scummy ceos and investors. ive been torrenting games for decades at this point and the only times ive gotten a virus is downloading a new release from some rando.
