Well, first of all you really should not be using Windows 7 anymore. For the TPB, I don't think they check the torrents, anyone can upload so it's not a trusted source. It's in the unsafe sites list on the megathread. And how would you know that you never had a malware on the TPB?
I stopped using win 7 2 years go when I got a new PC (I know it was late, but I never needed it before). So even the ones in the megathread are unsafe?
Not really. They are safe, specially the ones marked with a goat sign.
Though that said, i HIGHLY recommend setting up the security tips mentioned at the top of the megathread. As a casual pirate, they've been more than enough for me.
do you mean this "Not so fast sailor! Do this first" suggestions, like using VPN and such? (witch is useless where I live, I never heard of any legal troubles tbh)
