I never said I was using Defender. I also didn't fuck up in setting up my antivirus(although you might not have either and it's a FP)
First thing's first, an antivirus shouldn't have archive scanning enabled. Apart from the obvious fact that it will use more resources you can't get infected by an archive file(7z, zip, rar, etc.) even if it contains a virus inside of it.
Second, seeing as how Defender has the feature to scan an archive hidden I really doubt all of you opened Advanced Settings with Powershell just to enable it.(I trust my fellow perverts to have enough brains not to enable this feature)
Third, see screenshot attached. The ony thing detecting the executable is a second tier turkish AV(great reference there).
It's very likely that it's SmartScreen detecting the file as a trojan since Windows Defender's signatures don't consider the file as infected. Either it detects the fact that it's a crack or it has been flagged on purpose to scare people off from pirating the game.(I doubt the Dev has such influence so it's most likely the crack)
Still, the most important thing of them all that I want to highlight is this, just to showcase your vast knowledge on the matter: You get a warning from Windows Defender for a .7z file and you decide to trust it... I rest my case.
Game works fine, just can't figure out how the fuck to get the 2nd good ending.
