A YouTuber is doing bad press and claims that PokerTH is not safe
I’m looking for videos about the PokerTH user and I came across this video that says not to install the program with “expert reports” saying this program is a virus and is going to steal from me.
The video: youtube com/watch?v=KzuGBXdYQdU

What do you think?

The video has been removed by the uploader. I saw it earlier. He stated, that on virustotal 1 antivirus out of 70 flagged the installer. So most likely a false positive.
Then he uploaded the file to nother website, which classified the file as malicious for some stupid reasons. For instance that notepad.exe opened the readme.txt after installation or that the file installs a lot of files. The reason for this is that PokerTH includes the QT6 files. Otherwise you would need to install QT6 seperately.
