Is igetintopc safe ?

surprisingly, I’m sure getintopc’s mods are same as the notorious oceanofgames yet it is considerably a more reputable site. Although I have to say it is mentioned on the megathread with the unsafe sites as one of the ones Particularly avoided by the pirate community.

If you already downloaded the file then scan with Kaspersky or Malwarebytes as they are imo the most reputable AVs in the industry nowadays (the free tier of Kaspersky is more than enough). Alternatively I think you can copy the download URL and patse it on virustotal and get the file scanned (no need to actually upload I think).

I would usually recommend a patching method rather then a full download, I think a good place to start would be here: www.reddit.com/r/GenP/

Well, assuming no one will have direct experience, there’s two safe options.

You can get a virtual machine and install it there, and run every virus scanner you can find on it before installing it on your normal machine, or you can just leave it on the virtual machine and permanently sandbox it.

You can do the same with an old computer, too, just disconnect the internet after downloading.

I’ve used getintopc several years ago without noticing any obvious malware in the downloads, however the domain you shared starts with the letter “i” so that’s probably not the original site?

Yes I did some searching and was confused as to which one is the legit site now. It seems to have changed a couple of times. I don’t know if this is run by the same people as getintopc.
