I can't tell if my program is safe or not

[Hyperwolf122]

Hello! So I found a very popular video that had good comments and it showed how to download the art program for free since the actual version is 40$ and I've had it for months and it's not caused at all any issues or shady activity at all and Malwarebytes and Avast both haven't detected it as a threat and out of curiosity I scanned it with Virustotal and some of the files it had were false positives but it was like 3 out of 62 detected it as a threat or 4 out of 50 detected it as a threat and it's that way with quiet a few of the files in the art program and some of the ones that detected it as a threat said it was a trojan or something, are these just false alarms?

Psst. What program is it? 
Also, no piracy! *Baps you on the forehead with a newspaper* 🦊

You should probably run it through Malwarebytes again. If MBAM doesn't detect it, chances are it's safe, as it's based on behaviors. However, as a pirated program, it's probably not safe, as who knows what was done to it?

Seriously though, get rid of it anyway. Pirated software is against the rules here. Not only is it a huge security risk to pirate software, it's straight up illegal! (Even though from a moral standpoint, software piracy is more of a gray area, but let's not get into that.)

Be sure to share all the logs from Malwarebytes, and the VirusTotal link for the file as well.

It is just called Paint Tool Sai and I think somewhere I heard from the site that versions similar to it aren't illegal unless you sell them for your own profit but it was just something I heard somewhere probably not offical it I'm definitely thinking of deleting it cause I'm scared of it not being safe, and like in the video it was very popular and everyone in the comments was satisfied and I scrolled for awhile and haven't found one concern in the comments, but yeah I'm highly afraid of it being not safe and cause it's possibly illegal, and I'll try to copy and paste the logs from both here soon

Also I'm unsure but do I just send a screen shot of the log I'm not sure where to find it on virus total or Malwarebytes?

Update: I have now deleted the software, from what virustotal showed with the files it contained and its relations with other files, and cause it was pirated but somehow I didn't think about that when I downloaded it, I was definitely putting myself at risk, thank you for letting me know about this!

If you would like to try Paint Tool Sai, but are unable to get it through legitimate means, I'd suggest trying to find similar programs instead.
