A user named VitaminX uploaded bitcoin miner attached to an installed for BG3. The admins removed the upload after community protests went viral, but VitaminX is for some reason not banned.

Is the site compromised? Was VitaminX splitting the profits with a rogue admin?

    Just do a scan of your machine if you downloaded pirated games from non reputable sources. Get a few uploaders you know the community trusts and where they post links to their releases

      For the love of God stop giving bad advice. Anti virus software cannot protect you from all viruses. Viruses are trained against anti virus software nowadays so only behavioral detection may help.

      Trusted community and uploaders is the only way this works.

        Alright, just format your machine if you downloaded pirated games from non reputable sources. Get a few uploaders you know the community trusts and where they post links to their releases
