I wanted to update on the situation. I posted a few days ago about a detection for malware on a software download of Affinity Photo 2. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35380042

After some searching, I found a repack on LRepacks. And I wanted to share something. The repack I found on LRepacks only had about 3 detections on VirusTotal, which is pretty much expected honestly.

I wanted to compare this to the downloaded file I tried from a site listed as Download93 on the megathread, I didn’t mention this on the previous post because I didn’t feel it was necessary.

I suspect something might be wrong with that site.

• This file got about 30 something detections flagging it as malware. I ended up not running it (thankfully). And while I have no means to try it (as VMs are not working on my pc for some reason), I highly suspect of it being malware.

• Didn’t notice this when I was downloading, but the Download93 link now redirects to “4download[dot]net”. Which just throws me off now that I see it.

Has someone else noticed this going on in this website? Again, I have no means right now of proving it’s malware. But I wanted to see if somebody else can confirm is something is wrong with that site. So that it can be taken down from the megathread if necessary.
