For those of you who don't know, the VFX site Download Pirate was removed by r/Piracy and placed in their unsafe list
following this [thread](https://redd.it/1aswsl7). According to the post, OP downloaded Adobe Acrobat and got a pretty
nasty trojan.
For those of you who don't know, the VFX site Download Pirate was removed by /r/Piracy and placed in their unsafe list following this [thread](https://redd.it/1aswsl7). According to the post, OP downloaded Adobe Acrobat and got a pretty nasty trojan.
To test this, we downloaded it and [checked the checksum](https://ibb.co/rGHXT0w) of every file compared to
m0nkrus, and they match exactly. It is hard to say what happened to OP, but it seems pretty likely that they got the
trojan from something other than Download Pirate.

**update** - Here is a setup scan thanks to u/LichessLuvr which seems to be
clean: [Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2023 v23.8.20421 x64](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/04889538532f10f910029a5ef65068aed713019fb50462546e82ee8ced81350b)

**update 2** - We just scanned all the [patched files,](https://ibb.co/VxBwzN3) and they came back clean too, so this
is unlikely to have malware unless its hidden really well within the ISO. OP either got malware from an ad on the file
host or already had the trojan before installing Acrobat.

We're still open to new evidence if someone comes forward with it, but for now we can't find any reason to think they're
malicious, so we're going to keep them in FMHY. The version OP downloaded is v23.8.20421 from 1cloudfile if someone wants
to check it themselves.
