Trojan on octowow torrent download

Hello,

I've downloaded a fresh install for octowow via torrent directly from octowow website and Malwarebytes flagged all these trojans...
Worst when I login there is a new "explorer.exe" that auto-runs, if I accept it to run it will open 20 processes of explorer.exe wich I suspect use my resources for crypto mining...
This is completly fckd up... Through all the ddos problems and everything and now this... :(

This has to be a mix of some other file being infected and spreading throughout your system instead of Octo.

Not sure how it would go if Octo's torrent link was hijacked, but a lot of this would've been flagged on many other PCs if it was Octo. Considering there's over 3000 concurrent players...
