FAQ
The stuff that comes up most: getting files, archives, antivirus, and requests.
Getting & extracting
What's the password for the archives?
+
It's always
pvntiss. Most files are .rar or .zip. On Windows, extract them with
WinRAR; on Mac, use
Keka. OR use a 3rd-party extractor for password-protected files. See the notice at the top of the Windows or Mac page.
Why is everything hosted on MediaFire?
+
That's the host we trust and use. You leave PVNTISS the moment you click "Get," so ignore any ads or pop-ups on those pages and never click them. Head straight for the real download button.
I can't access PVNTISS, just a blank page or connection error.
+
If the site won't load on your network, try switching your DNS to
1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare). You can also run
Cloudflare WARP, just keep it on while you browse the site and the page should come through.
Installing & antivirus
My antivirus flagged a file, is it safe?
+
Modified software (cracks, repacks) gets flagged far more often than untouched files, usually as
PUP,
HackTool,
!ML, or
Reputation, not actual malware. Read our
False Positives breakdown for the full picture. When in doubt, scan the file with VirusTotal or Malwarebytes before running it.
Do I need to disable my antivirus or Windows Defender?
+
Sometimes, yes, but only temporarily and only for the install. Add an exclusion for the file or pause real-time protection, install, then turn it straight back on. Run installers as admin if prompted, and only do this for files you've checked and trust.
The installer wants admin rights, is that normal?
+
Admin rights during install are normal for creative software. What's not normal: unexpected background services that start on boot, browser hijacks, extra bundled apps, or toolbars. If you see any of that, stop, don't continue, and ask in the Discord before going further.
Site & account
Do I need an account to use the site?
+
No, browsing and getting files is open to everyone. You only need an account to bookmark items and edit your profile.
How do bookmarks / saving work?
+
Sign in, then tap the star on any card. Everything you save shows up under Bookmarks on your
Account page, synced so it's there next time you log in from anywhere.
Can I request software or a plugin?
+
Always, that's what the
request form is for. If it's solid and fits the library, it'll get added.
