Fairly confident I wound up with some malware from a "GOG" download from one of the sites in the megathread. I've already formatted and the files are long gone but I'll tuck this link away for the future.
Use FitGirl or SteamRip. I also use SteamUnlocked which people say are unsafe but I've downloaded over 100 games from there and had no issues, so I won't recommend it but just adding my experience.
Also make backups to your PC using macrium reflect or other backup programs so you can restore from it in case you get viruses.

Can confirm. I've used FitGirl for years and countless games and have never once had an issue with malware. She seems pretty reliable on that front.
