Fair enough! Not trying to guilt or pass judgement.
Have you used windows sandbox before? I’ve used it with success back when I used cracked executables.
Windows sandbox? What is that? Like a VM?
A VM that is cut off from the rest of the computer so that malware cannot pass to your computer.
Not exactly a VM but a desktop environment.

I appreciate it.
And no, I've not used the sandbox before, I generally just scan the file for viruses and hope for the best (terrible practice, I know, but I so rarely download anything), but I would be happy to try it out, problem is all the versions I've downloaded so far have been in Russian (even when selecting English), so even if I do test them in the sandbox, I still don't know what any of the UI is saying lol
