U WILL GET HACKED
i installed blue stacks so i could play yk some clash royale and talk to my playstation friends on pc thru the ps app and so i downloaded it yk i didnt think much of it until a couple mins later i decide to do my research on this emulator and realized what a horrible mistake i made ppl getting hacked there mouse controlled by sm1 else and so on. i immediately uninstalled blue stacks and ran some scans and found nothing until like 15 mins later i get a notification from malewarebytes (shout out malware bytes) that sm1 was trying to exploit my pc and my browser. i did what any rational human being would do i factory reset my pc and changed all my passwords. thankfully i believe that i saw my pc blocked their actions but never the less better to be safe than sorry i wrote this like 5 hrs after it happened cuz i jus finished changing all my passwords and what not so pls for u own safety DO NOT INSTALL BLUE STACKS

Thank you for sharing your experience and concerns about security. BlueStacks itself is safe and free of malware when downloaded directly from our official website at bluestacks.com. Issues like fake installers or virus alerts often come from third-party sites or false positives in antivirus scans, not our software.
