r/PiratedGames on Reddit: I made a mistake by downloading from ocean of games
March 24, 2024 -

Downloaded Horizon Zero Dawn from Ocean of Games (which I now know is suspicious). Installed everything, followed instructions, and the game ran okay. But then I noticed Windows Defender was disabled! Tried fixing it, but nothing worked. Read the megathread - turns out Ocean of Games is a risk. Downloaded Malwarebytes and found a ton of viruses. Should I just remove the viruses and keep Windows, or is a reinstall necessary? Worried about the consequences of keeping it.

September 25, 2022 - If ANY software requires breaking Defender then it's simple - DON'T INSTALL IT. I've yet to find a game that requires disabling/breaking Defender. That installer likely has malware. Click to expand... I tried to install hoping to Re-enable after the installation of the game

r/Piracy on Reddit: DO NOT USE OCEAN OF GAMES!!!
May 27, 2018 -

I downloaded a game from their website called "Tomato Way"

It comes with a VBE file that "decodes" the archive into an iso.

WHEN INFACT IT PUTS MALWARE ONTO YOUR PC AND LITERALLY RENAMES A DLL WHICH IS THE ISO TO AN ISO.

The VBE was encrypted, although was able to decrypt it with https://master.ayra.ch/vbs/vbs.aspx

Here is a screenshot of the VBE and what it does:

https://imgur.com/a/hCMhzly

If you don't believe me, download this game, decode the VBE and see for yourself.

The file it infects you with is another VBE, which opens a silent window of a malicious site (update your pc . info) (DO NOT VISIT)

https://imgur.com/a/ZPtqQH1

It first tries to do it in chrome. Then tries to do it in firefox.

Be careful when downloading games. If you get a vbs, or bat, make sure to decode it and READ WHAT IT DOES FIRST.

The actual game and installer appears to be clean though. It's just this "unpacker" that is infected.

You should "Run as Administrator" and "Disable Windows Defender" in a lot of games. :: Suggestions / Ideas
I should turn off defender to play City Car Driving or RealRTCW mod. Or "Run as Administrator" set to .exe file to play Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition. There were a few more, but I don’t remember them right now. ... Arma 3 made it necessary to start as admin, otherwise i get Battle Eye timeouts quite regularly. ...
