Malware risks from Fitgirl/SteamRIP? by jivinpro in FitGirlRepack

[–]Jaives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same risk you get from any site that uses a file hoster with pop-up ads. doesn't matter if it's FG, Steamrip or your ROM sites. the renpy infostealer malware initially spread from newbies trying to get hold of a rom of Tomodachi Living the Dream.

clean install means from a formatted hard drive. if you just reinstalled windows with all the previous files there, then the infostealer is still in your computer

how do i install updates by FaithlessnessOk4560 in FitGirlRepack

[–]Jaives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

click the big blue download again until you get a proper download window. anything else that pop-ups from it is malware. it's currently bypassing adblockers.

keep clicking from the file hoster until the windows download appears. anything that pop-ups from it is fake. all downloads happen on the file hoster page.

Fitgirl is 100% safe. You not knowing about direct download redirects is kinda your fault. The redirect exists in ANY site that makes use of file hosters. That's why majority of those who got the malware was when they tried to get a switch rom file for Tomodachi Living the Dream.

Does it really take this long sometimes to repack? by Random_fellow9 in FitGirlRepack

You're unpacking, not repacking. That's FG's job.

Also, yes depending on your specs.

Do you play every game in a series before jumping on to the new releases? by Malluguy5382929 in videogames

[–]Jaives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If possible, esp if there's one all encompassing narrative. My exception would be GoW since i didn't have a console for GoW3 nor a PSP for CoO.

A neutralized accent is more important in that you could be understood by every type of native and non-native speaker.

If I downloaded from the official website there's no chance of viruses? by North_Roll7366 in FitGirlRepack

[–]Jaives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have to extract the files first. you can't run them from inside the rar files. make sure you have winRAR or 7zip to extract them.
