So long as you are getting m0nkrus' software from the links here then you should be ok. There is no 100% guarantee of safety though with any pirated software. All I can say is that many people here have been using m0nkrus' releases literally for years without ever experiencing any viruses or malware.

Bear in mind that it is fairly common practice for software vendors to post claims of viruses in cracked versions of their software, to scare people off from downloading them.

There is a detailed thread about it here. Looking at the "detections" in virustotal, it looks like a false positive to me though.

Also note that m0nkrus is still listed as trusted in the megathread, so there hasn't been any compelling evidence so far to make them untrustworthy. GenP exists as an alternative and they have a wiki about their method here but note that they also still recommend m0nkrus as an alternative method with the following disclaimer, which suggests always installing the individual app versions instead of the so called "Master Collection":

There has been some hacking related complaints towards the Collection version specifically (accounts like google, instagram or facebook), but it's never clear since usually people download from other random sources, got it from youtube, use bunch of other crap, and so on.

At the same time, there are those who use / used individual version or even the collection, and have never had any of those related issues at all.

The amount of data leaks have been increasing, so certain accounts could've already been leaked a while back but just nothing happened until then.

There's a mix of opinions, those who trust and those who don't, since there's never a clear conclusive proof or replication of the same problem it's a gray area.

❗ The links in the reddit and suggestions are to the source, and not other random file hosts.

⚠️ If going with Monkrus, please USE ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL VERSIONS (these should be alright) and NEVER the Collection version (has been dropped due to several correlations with malware, and malfunctions). - This has been said several times, but the majority skips on the reading, so it's your problem going forward.

Edit: I realise OP was asking about AutoDesk and not Adobe apps but the same general advice applies.

nah. just use his official site and you're gonna be ok. he's a russian shithead, but his work is of very high quality and ease of installation.
