I've downloaded 2 pieces of portable software from the FMHY site Soft98 (Persian site) and I've checked both installers through VirusTotal with zero hits for both. Is there anything else I need to do to verify the legitimacy of the software? I've heard of people using sandboxes but I'm not quite literate on how to setup and use those. Any additional information would be appreciated. Thanks!
