False positive ?

[Druidix]

Hi, 

today I've finished to dl Ac unity (after 3-4 days), using a torrent from this website (website link removed by Quicksilver)
Of course, Malwarebytes as find 2 "crack tools agent" in the crack files. In normal times, I don't run programs with those kind of things, for exemple i've remove GTA V few months ago for the same. But now i've a little bit more knowledges, i'm asking if i can run it. Seems, if i'm not wrong, that anti malwares detect it as malicious program for incite people to use proper versions. 
So can I?

Well... Cracks are sometimes suspicious. I had a "free" copy of NFSU2, which actually tried to turn my system into a part of a botnet. I'd suggest testing it out on another system on a virtual machine first if you're suspicious. Then again, I've seen virus and malware scanners detect cracks and CD key generators as 'harmful' at an ever increasing rate, so you might be right about the false positives.

The test with vm is interesting, but i don't absolutely don't know how it works. 
For the moment i've uninstalled the game, and pc still clean. 
Which program should I use? Virtual box is ok?

[Ensign_Steel]

VirtualBox is good for the purpose.

Somebody has told me that it will be useless, except if "there was a virus which destroys everything during installation" (as he said), cause i will not see any difference in the VM at t-time (if you see what i mean).  I'm a bit confused now

@Druidix please do not post links in this forum to torrent sites, or sites that link to torrents, this is against forum rules.

Thank you.

Ok sorry Quick. In all case i think i will try to find it cheap
