I’ve downloaded 2 pieces of portable software from the FMHY site Soft98 (Persian site) and I’ve checked both installers through VirusTotal with zero hits for both. Is there anything else I need to do to verify the legitimacy of the software? I’ve heard of people using sandboxes but I’m not quite literate on how to setup and use those. Any additional information would be appreciated. Thanks!
First, let me state I have gone through every search engine and site on the Megathread before I’m asked. I’ve also looked through the Unsafe sites and users as well.
I have been hunting for a recent version of a piece of software for a while now and all I can seem to find are ones VirusTotal.com lists with viruses in them or from users on the Unsafe list.
The file I currently have came straight from the site AppDoze.com. Can someone let me know if AppDoze is still a reputable downloader? I’ve read Yes and I’ve read No. As you can see VirusTotal.com looks at the cracked .exe and list 6 viruses. Surely there can’t be this many “false positives” in a file or can there?
Also, Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Pro both updated have had full scans run on my PC in safe mode and they show no infections which I don’t understand with all the installs and uninstalls I’ve done from a number of sources. I’m considering BitDefender just as another layer of safety.
Anyway, if anyone could give me some insight on AppDoze, I would be most appreciative. Thanks for your input and time!
Can you tell me anywhere I could possibly get the program without risking the safety of my PC? Oh, and thank you for all the detail. That clears a LOT of things up!
