What makes Reworkedgames.eu dangerous?

Reworkedgames.eu offers fake game installers

Pirating is not just illegal – it’s also dangerous for the pirates. Since the illegal game sharing space is unregulated, there’s nobody to stop malicious actors from spreading malware disguised as game installers. Pirates must stay hyper-vigilant to avoid getting scammed or downloading malware.

Reworkedgames.eu is one of those sites that try to scam people.

It is a somewhat popular site, it gets a couple hundred thousand visits each month. It sees people from all over the world, including India, Brazil, and the United States.

Most people find Reworkedgames.eu by searching on the internet to download PC video games. And Reworkedgames.eu can easily show up at the top of the results. Sometimes, it’s because no legitimate site would show results for such queries.

The site lies to visitors

To get more people to visit, Reworkedgames.eu offers Playstation and Nintendo exclusives for PC, as well as games that aren’t out yet. It wants to catch desperate gamers and trick them into downloading malicious files.

Reworkedgames.eu tries to appear trustworthy by showing a Virustotal seal (it’s really just an image), as though Virustotal had declared it safe or something. In reality, two scanners on VT flag Reworkedgames.eu as suspicious – Virustotal.com.

If you look up Reworkedgames.eu online, you can find discussions about it – everyone agrees it’s a scam site.

Reworkedgames.eu downloads archives that include an installer file. This can make it difficult for antivirus scanners to check the file.

If you run the installer, it might perform the installation process and then ask you to provide an activation key and redirect you to advertising and clickbait sites, fleeceware apps, and other unwanted and malicious pages. It might also disable your Task Manager and download adware and other malware.

That doesn’t mean that all the games on Reworkedgames.eu are malicious. However, there’s no way to know without running the installer – which could allow malware to be installed on your device.

How to remove malware from Reworkedgames.eu

Avoid scam websites

Reworkedgames.eu is not the only malicious free games site. It has the same problems as Full-games.org, Gamefabrique.com, and many other websites.

It’s safest to just not pirate games. If you stick to legal websites – real game stores and authorized key sellers – then you’ll be safe from malware and from scams (PC game storefronts compared: what you need to know about retailers and resellers). And if you want free games, then remember to take advantage of giveaways that happen regularly on many stores, especially on Epic and Uplay.

And never believe shady websites that claim to have games that aren’t out yet or that are exclusive to a console. That’s just a huge red flag that the site is lying. If a game is not available on the big launchers, it’s not available period.

If you’re not sure, then just ask for help online in your favorite forum.

Remove Reworkedgames.eu malware

If spyware was detected on your computer, then it’s very important to reset your passwords (after the spyware was removed).
