I got baldurs gate from igg-games, does anyone know if I'm safe? I'm asking for advice dunno why I'm getting down voted xD

Igg has a shit reputation for adding malware to their torrents. I think it’s hit and miss, but better to avoid them than risk it.

Just get it from fitgirl. Can't confirm for this game as I actually bought it, but I never had issues before.

Igg-games is a very bad site to download anything from. There has been known malware in the past and the owners of the site are garbage.

Rule of the Internet do not trust anyone and it’s always wise to scan anything you download from Internet.
