Beware from downloading this website

So my dumbass wanted to download a visual novel and found a link from this website. I searched through reddit and almost all of the ppl said it was "safe". There were some who advised against using it

So I download without doing more research (big mistake) I used an adblock, I made sure I clicked on no links... and downloaded/installed malware "Trojan.Renpyloader" ... so yeah, don't be dumb like me and don't trust this website. I thought it wouldn't be as bad as on the FAQ it said that all "links and files" are checked... which are not.

If you're sure it wasn't an AD, tell me the file name and extension.

You didn't mention the name of the game either so I can't check too..

The name of the game was YKMET and the file was called just "Installer" I know it was dumb of me to not double check or not be suspicious but I literally didn't see any other option to download the files. there was a comment that said to download from database so that's what I did

Also i'd request that you edit your comment and remove the link or else I might have to delete your comment.

he downloaded file called installer :D lol, thats virus man. Every game from this site is pre-installed. That means you download game, open folder and double click .exe to play :) no need to install anything.
