For the last month or two, my AV blocks their site because it detected a ScrInject.B trojan.

And yes, it’s the correct site (monkrus.ws).

VirusTotal also shows 4 security vendors register it as malicious.

Are these all false positives or is monkrus’s site no longer trustworthy?

    Monkrus was never trustworthy. He’s a drama queen and has some mental issues. Always double and triple check anything you download from him.

      Personal issues aside, do you have a source on their releases historically containing malware? Been a long time but I don’t remember encountering any issues.

        You can check his releases on rutracker.ru, sometimes people complain about virus detection, monkrus calls reporters idiots and then his next release is clean.
