How do you validate that what you torrented is clean/no malware/spyware? Specifically, I torrented two things:

  • Astute Graphics Plug-ins Elite Bundle 3.9.1.7z from teamos. *It is 678MB so I can’t upload to Virustotal
  • Master Collection 2025 from uztracker (which is listed on monkrus’s website’s list of trackers). It is 37.5GB so I can’t upload to Virustotal.

I’m not sure what I should to do to be honest.

Edit: Would splitting the 37.5GB file into 650MB pieces and then scanning with virustotal help? Not sure if downloaded files need to be whole for it to work properly.

This is the results from virustotal (I could only scan 4 files in the master collection without running the iso)

Thank you.

    Do you know of any guides to set up Hyper-V for this type of purpose? I want it to be as secure as can be: “disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, etc.”

      The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There’s probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn’t that great).
