Great thread — thanks for the tips so far! I wanted to share a few practical steps that worked for me when I ran into suspicious gaming sites and dodgy downloads:

1. Always scan any downloaded file with Bitdefender (or another reputable AV) before opening it.
2. Use a browser extension that blocks trackers and malicious scripts — that stops a lot of drive-by attacks.
3. If a site asks for weird permissions or forces you to download an APK, walk away. Legitimate game pages usually link to official stores or clearly state what you’re getting.
4. For extra safety, test questionable files inside a sandbox or a VM so your main system stays clean.

I run a small gaming site and try to keep everything I link to verified — when I share game files or tips, I also remind readers to scan first. If anyone wants a simple strategy game that’s safe to try while you sort out security settings, I often recommend checking out https://stickwarlegacy-modapk.com/ — and remember to scan any downloads with Bitdefender before installing.

Hope that helps — happy to share more specific settings for Bitdefender or browser filters if anyone wants them!
