A friend of mine just got a trojan virus from this site

What got my attention in particular is that after research I found out that apparently this site, while it was still reported as a fake/unofficial one a few years ago, it didn't download any malware at all (alongside a possible outdated version of CRCPY), but now it does.

It replaces google and causes a window to appear that tries to brutally force you to scan with fake antivirus stuff in a attempt to expose the pc further by essentialy locking you into a screen if you don't comply.

I imagine to anyone of you it's something already heard plenty of times, but be extra careful everyone and be 100% of where you download stuff if it's official or not, since it seems like fake sites that might have been noticed as still somewhat not dangerus might have turned that way at some point.
