Is monkrus's site no longer trustworthy? My AV blocks it due to a detected trojan.

For the last month or two, my AV blocks their site because it detected a ScrInject.B trojan.

And yes, it’s the correct site (monkrus.ws).

VirusTotal also shows 4 security vendors register it as malicious.

Are these all false positives or is monkrus’s site no longer trustworthy?

Wait how do you get a virus downloading from youtube, using some sketchy youtube download site? Yt-dlp is good right?

I probably should have specified - downloading cracked software from a YouTube video. Downloading videos from YouTube is fine with tools like yt-dlp.
