I'm installing pirated Adobe software, and Windows Defender says it detected a malicious program, name is in the post title. Is it a false positive, or is it actually harmful?

Pop the same file through VirusTotal and see what comes back. Defender will sometimes flag shit just because it performs activity that MS doesn’t like.
