Good general advice, but how will that help in this case?
that was my thought. He downloaded the file. It was not some javascript malware or such.
The way they said they installed something which was different to the game files that were expected made it sound like they might’ve clicked on an ad that was a download button instead of the actual download on the site but I might be wrong because I’ve never been on steam unlocked. They also seem like they’re new to piracy and I would definitely recommend they have a good Adblock even before they visit even the trusted piracy sites.
