WiiGSC compared to a hacking tool

[ember quartz]

My antivirus is going off because it's saying that WiiGSC is a hacking tool. Is this typical?

TBH, when it was installed I did feel like it was slowing my PC internet down.

Welp. My antivirus deleted it

I have used it before and it's slowed down my WiFi on just my PC so I might try to launch it in a Windows 7 VM

tbh, mine it also just detected it as HackTool:Win32/Keygen... it's weird that it detects it as a keygen, but I guess it thinks so, since it generates small files (wads).

Ohh I see. Thanks for the input

I tried testing it in 8.1 but did not have any luck

Im opening now in Windows 11, but I needed to download NET 3.5

maybe that's why it doesn't open for you

omfg, NET 3.5 installed edge, im gonna kill myself 😭

I did but Wii GSC is being a bitch with Windows 8.1... I'll just allow it on Windows 10

lol that's such a Microsoft thing to do. How did you even uninstall it in the first place?

i created a iso with Tiny11 Builder, that deletes all garbage from the iso

I got a little scared when I opened the task manager... I didn't see any network activity, but I saw NET Framework using 30% of my CPU without doing anything. I also saw for a second a process called "pingtester.exe" (or something like that). So I don't know what to tell you, it should be safe, many people recommend it, but who knows?

[ember quartz]

Ohh. That's good to know.

All programs are shady in their own ways. I'd just keep an eye on it some more

Does Tiny11 let you install a different browser instead of Edge?

[vernal robin]

deleted all bloatware, included Edge, but you can download a browser from the store, or carry a installer in a usb before reinstalling windows
