I wrote this post for a friend, I'm sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it'd be easier to write it down once. It's meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it includes a bunch of safety tips that are already known in this community.

If you have feedback, let me know and I'll update the post.

So how do you check for viruses without a bunch of false positives?

Are you sure that won't also get a bunch of false positives because it detects that a file is a keygen or crack?

@ScratchySoft it should know the difference between a virus and a keygen, yes.
