At first, I used to believe that games, mods, and etc, didn't contain any malware and people were just either getting them from torrents or "untrustable" sites.
But after seeing many posts saying that Skyrim mods had viruses and every now and then there were some authors uploading files with malicious files inside mods on Nexus mods and other sites, I got a bit concerned. Then I've read that games is one of the biggest places where they inject malicious codes, not only on modded games and pirated games, but also on some emulators and roms. Even though, on the other side, many claim "I've never got a malware from downloading games and etc". Which begs the question, are they right or they just have no idea they got malware that stays hidden and silent for a while?
Anyways, would you donwload emulators and roms to play Zelda? If yes, what steps would you take to be safe?
