I've used rutracker for years with no issues, as it's often considered one of the safest and most reliable torrent sites for music production software available.

Just now I downloaded "DrumEssentials r59476 v1.1" from the "Live 12 CONTENT PACKS" section of "Ableton - Live 12 Suite v12.1.0 x64 {R2R} [11.10.2024]" on rutracker. I did not download the main torrent itself, just that one content pack from the list of content packs on that page. I can't link to the torrent itself according to the rules of this subreddit.

Windows Defender says 'detected: Trojan:Win32/Meterpreter!ml' with the affected item being "RCKOI58.exe". I did not download any exe - the only file I downloaded was the aforementioned content pack. I'm familiar with common false positives when downloading cracked software, but this seems potentially like legit remote access malware. I'm not an expert though. Can anyone with some expertise in this area take a look at the file I mentioned and let me know whether it is legitimately installing malware? I can't post the link here but you can find it by searching the torrent name I mentioned on rutracker. Thank you.
