Personally, I would never run pirated software on the same computer I use for important files or logins.
This is the way. Secure Linux PC for important shit. Dumpster fire Windows PC for playing pirated games.
If the game PC is ever compromised, all they could possibly get is a list of what other pirated games I have. And then I’d just have to wipe and reinstall it again. But it’s fucking Windows – wiping and reinstalling is basically a regular maintenance item that you have to do from time to time anyway.
