We never intentionally distribute viruses, trojans, or any form of malware.
Many scene intros and cracktros implement decompressing, self-decrypting, and self-modifying techniques, which, unfortunately, is also typical behavior for malware.
Analyzing suspicious behavior in software is never 100% accurate, and an over-sensitive heuristic scan can report false positive results. Some file programs and applications offered on Defacto2 do get flagged as a possible virus or trojan threat, but we do not believe they are dangerous.
But to be safe, scan any application software downloads with VirusTotal. Do not run the applications on your primary Windows system, but use a virtualized or emulated Windows or DOS legacy operating system.
