Some Autodesk products would install something that uses your bandwidth secretly like a torrent system.
Darvond: Because I doubt that a game from 1980 whose largest file is just over 110 kilobytes would have a large chance of having anything rather dreadful, and this isn't about things like potentially unwanted software.
But also to a more logical riposte, the files are checked against 60 or so antiviral engines. So take the foil off your head, if you'd please.
You must be thinking of someone elses post because there was no mention of a specific game in my general response.
