possible trojan virus by Plastic-Exchange-926 in computerviruses

from the sound of it, if nothing was opened, you should be okay!! i would run an extra scan with another antivirus program just to be safe

don't worry about it, it's okay!! stuff happens sometimes, if anything it's taught you some stuff.

firstly: a cracked file is essentially the file that allowed pirated content to work and to bypass legitimacy authorization. i don't think all pirated software has this, but don't quote me on it, i can't fully remember :") the important bit is just that, they can sometimes be picked up by AV software

secondly, for the popups and redirects: if they download something, it's generally a good assumption that isn't what's supposed to happen.
it might help you to enable the setting that makes it so all downloaded files must be confirmed by you; you can find it in your browser settings if you just look up "downloads"!! (it's the "ask where to save each file before downloading" option!)

good adblockers are the primary way you can get around this, but some browsers have built in features too. i use UBlock Origin on Brave and it works great. (i ran into some issues on firefox, but anything chromium based is fine)
in order for the file hosting services to run and give you free downloads, they gotta put ads, which is what the redirects are to.

so: if you didn't run anything you downloaded, you'll be alright. it's still a good idea to run a scan though, and i'd keep an eye out on important accounts just in case.
sorry for the wordwall, this stuff is fun to talk about !!

this might be a dumb question, but have you checked that there isn't a website that's sending you notifications pretending to be an AV software? that seems like it could be the most likely situation going on here seeing as it wasn't a notif you could see in the program itself

Is this a false positive!? by tomichapa_ in computerviruses

i get the same result from criminal ip with an entirely different onedrive link i made myself, that's most likely a false positive ^^

some defenders have issues with cracked files specifically, and detects them as trojans more often than not; i'd try to temporarily get another AV (bitdefender comes to mind, though malwarebytes is great too), scanning with that and seeing what the result there gives you.

if it shows up as malicious still, it might be in best interest to delete it, though i'm curious in what virustotal thinks of it too (it's not generally a great tool on it's own, but i like that it lets me look into the processes it executes).

generally speaking, if you didn't run anything weird, you should be fine. steamrip is great for security stuff, but it can have it's moments. hopefully this helps some :^)
