For the last month or two, my AV blocks their site because it detected a ScrInject.B trojan.

And yes, it's the correct site (monkrus.ws).

VirusTotal also shows 4 security vendors register it as malicious.

Are these all false positives or is monkrus's site no longer trustworthy?

Monkrus was never trustworthy. He's a drama queen and has some mental issues. Always double and triple check anything you download from him.

Personal issues aside, do you have a source on their releases historically containing malware? Been a long time but I don't remember encountering any issues.

You can check his releases on rutracker.ru, sometimes people complain about virus detection, monkrus calls reporters idiots and then his next release is clean.

Been using only his stuff for Adobe, Office and Windows 7.

Never had any issues.

No issues from my friend and people I know.
