Malware from Online-fix ?

I know this question already asked a lot but 👇

I downloaded fix for Deep Rock Galactic from online-fix.me . I scanned all the files on Virustotal and everything came clean except Onlinefix.dll

Virustotal results : https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/14232bd5332d950291bc419d3dba5d8794079adfe108a3fd0688af8a01ca5e6b

False positive, most of the detections list them es generic or vmprotect. If you still dont trust it you can make your own fix, there are tools for that on rin.

Now that I know a bit more about security and obfuscation I rather not use any pirated games/software anymore. If they know how to crack/reverse engineer some complicated stuff, you can be sure they add some shady stuff in it.

Crackers don’t do it for a living lol
They’re normal people with normal, often 9-5, jobs; who just bought a gamr and want to help more people get their hands on that game even through pay walls and region restrictions.

Back in the early days we did it for competition/sports and maybe “fame” . Not for monetary reasons. Most of us never knew financial problems due to employers fighting over us 😁

Can’t speak for the modern crews. But it’s still unlikely. Other crews would find out, call out and their reputation would be done for. Not worth it as there are other options to get some bucks out of it

That would earn them a percent of a percent of what they would through donations or running ads on their site. And they would be able to do it only once.
