First time I've ever seen my browser (Firefox) report a virus in a download before it's completed. Such is the case with the download from Mixdrop. "This file contains a virus or malware....etc".

I didn't even get to having Microsoft Defender have a look.
This started happening to me as well in the last week or so. Firefox. It was with asset files on here, pretty sure they're false alerts. Not so sure I'd offer anything more than sympathy if you get your HDD's encrypted with ransom demands, though :)

Check the name of the downloaded file. You likely downloaded a maleware/virus file from a popup page instead of the game archive.

-> Use MEGA or pixeldrain or install popup-blocker to avoid these attacks.

Name was correct. I don't allow popups, and didn't click on one.
Typically, I do use MEGA and Pixeldrain. The limits and wait period drove me away from them on this one.
