Not sure where to ask this after looking through the Forum sections, so I guess I'll put it here..

I downloaded 2 games from here, one of which gives me this when I open the .exe file after extracting.

Is this site completely safe or is there some BS on here sometimes?

Sometimes, antivirus programs can mistakenly identify a legitimate .exe file as malicious and prevent it from running or delete it after extraction. Make sure to check your antivirus for any false positives. If the game is older, it might not be fully compatible with your current version of Windows. You can try running the .exe file in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows. If the .exe file is a console application, it might close immediately upon opening. You can open it via the command prompt to keep it running longer. To do this, press Windows Key + R, type cmd, and then navigate to the directory of the .exe file and run it from there. netbenefits
