Basically the title.
More details : My gf’s teacher basically sent them a link to download a pirated version of Photoshop to work on some minor thing. We live in a developing country where piracy is the norm even in universities and the like, because no student has the means to buy it. I just want to know if it’s likely safe to download from there.
Well, assuming no one will have direct experience, there’s two safe options.
You can get a virtual machine and install it there, and run every virus scanner you can find on it before installing it on your normal machine, or you can just leave it on the virtual machine and permanently sandbox it.
You can do the same with an old computer, too, just disconnect the internet after downloading.
