IS PIVOT ANIMATOR SAFE?

Hi, I've recently been wanting to start animation but all I know how to use is pivot animator as I used to play around with it as a kid, please let me know if it contains any malware or anything like that. Thanks.

A PUA / PUP (potentially unwanted application / potentially unwanted program) is a software that may be unwanted on the PC and sometimes comes bundled with freeware software.

This free application might be bundled with adware, which is a form of malware (perhaps even harmless), but hides on your device to serves you advertisements.

Pivot's installer comes with some optional stuff which antivirus programs pick up as viruses.
If you scan Pivot's executable file after installing, it will appear clean.

This was 2 years ago, this thread is literally more relevant than any of the reddit threads I've ever been on.

How the hell is this place still alive? Damn...

Okay. For me, I just downloaded it and it downloaded me like 3 different viruses- but not Pivot Animator itself. The installer will remain on your computer and download stuff "with" your permission (decline? it doesnt care). I'd say, download the actual pivot animator and delete the wizard.

(Oh shoot just saw this was 2017 )

So their installer is a virus but not pivot?
