Antivirus softwere. i cant even began to describe how horribly wrong can that go
I mean who the fuck pirate that, you went out of your way to pirate a software from a shady website just to protect yourself from other files u download from other shady websites
ESET Endpoint, ESET used to be easy to pirate, box+Mara fix, then they patched that loophole and I was forced to subscribe to it (until I switched to Linux anyway) but I thought about putting eset on my windows VM and checked out the latest options for pirating it and I found out about ESET Endpoint which is self hosted antivirus for corporate environments. So we have pirates running their own Endpoint servers…virus definitions hosted by other pirates. That scared me a bit.
Back in the day, when I didn’t know better I did try this. With Norton I believe. I’m not gonna drag this story, it ruined my boot, but for some reason it didn’t steal or encrypt anything (Makes me think if I just fucked up the install instead of it being malicious). After re-installing Windows everything went back to normal, and I managed to get BitDefender & Malwarebytes another way xd. Good ol’ times. 2/3 AV worked

Newer malware wouldn’t be easily detected. Linux app stores should be proactive when reviewing apps.
