[Gergathan]

every time i download forge i get a bunch of viruses such as pc hotline and some antivirus stuff i've never seen before and dont trust. why does it do this and how can i avoid it?

You didn't download Forge. Forge doesn't ship anything but itself.

If you went through adfocus and downloaded something in the ad then you should be careful next time and actually read what you're downloading. Also if it's a bad ad that actually contains malware then report it and it'll be removed.

 

Or if you are not comfortable with actually READING what you're downloading, you can use the direct links which are included next to the normal links on our download page.
