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.

Steam said I couldn't comment............. Saying that someone here doesn't allow me to do so. So I tried again.

The installer offers a lot of junk programs along with Pivot, but as long as you decline everything that isn't Pivot itself, you should be alright.

Also this person here was the one who necroed the thread. Not me.
Thank you for not saying it was me. People does this for some reason. Steam calls it trolling and says to report these users since "trolling is versus their rules". If it is why don't they enforce it? You know?

its probably just optional things like browser extensions and stuff, nothing truly malicious but they can be annoying if you accidentally install one during installation.

A lot of freeware applications package these sort of things with the program you download, its nothing new.

I once declined to all but the program, and it still installed everything. Good thing it is easy to remove them.

As it says on they’re website: “ ANTI-VIRUS WARNINGS
15/01/2020

A few browsers and anti-virus software, such as Norton, may give warnings for Pivot. These are false alarms that can occur because some will flag anything that they don't recognise. The Pivot installer does include offers for other software, but they're all optional during installation and will not harm your computer. Pivot and the installer are safe.” And yes I know I’m late, but that explains some of the shenanigans u see online.

I don't use any of these and still get this threat message...... But even their VIP installer does the same thing and it has no other softwares in it....

They said the same thing with other programs as well, and then they got hacked later on. Trojan Hackers NEVER hacks you right on the spot, they need your system for other types of attacks like botnet for example. Also if you going to be using VM, use a VM with in a VM, only because there are hackers out there that can bypass VMs..... Only by 1 level though...

No answer... possibly because of the dangerous nature of pivot animator.

It’s safe, just don’t download the other stuff that comes with the installer
