Most antivirus I tested, even the paid ones, are so annoying with popups and complaining about cracks that I just take the risk and go without em
How do you know they’re false positives?
Windows defender claimed they’re bad because they are cracks, and doesn’t mention any reason it thinks that would be a virus/trojan or something I dont want
“HackTool:Win32/crack” from games downloaded on fitgirl repacks site (the correct one)
Isn’t that a matter of behavior? The crack is doing something expected from a crack and the system warns you because most wouldn’t use it without being aware. If you really trust the file, add it as an exception.
Or do you want a software that can vet good cracks from bad cracks?
Have you considered getting NordVPN? A YouTuber told me it protects against 100% of hackers
How do you know you never had malware if you have no means to check for malware? It’s not like it will announce itself.

There’s a lot of malware that just chills in the background and hides itself well (e.g., auto-shuts down whenever task manager is opened), and does little to impact you aside from using some of your system’s resources.
Think being part of a botnet used for DDOS attacks, or a cryptominer that runs whenever you aren’t using much of your hardware’s capabilities.
If u are on Linux I recommend using firejail on the executable
He’s downloading cracks or cracked executables
The cracking groups aren’t exactly signing their work with a verifiable public key
