lol I never got any viruses by downloading games, unless if I don’t have UBlock Origin and Antivirus installed. I got tons of viruses on the Pirated Outdated copy of Windows 7.
I was paid for many time to reinstall Windows 7 by Ghosting. (until now i use USB to reinstall Windows) I was also Pirated Windows too. I won’t use Linux since less games are pirated for linux, Wine is also probably going to be laggy and waste many time for setting up.
I also almost got my Laptop infected for a cracked RC7 Roblox hacks (to use noclip script).
lucky i have turn on Avast quickly. The virus Disable Task Manager and Registry Editor.
I have destroyed a Windows Longhorn 4074 VM by using RC7 (cracked version).
