Most antivirus I tested, even the paid ones, are so annoying with popups and complaining about cracks that I just take the risk and go without em

How do you know they’re false positives?

Windows defender claimed they’re bad because they are cracks, and doesn’t mention any reason it thinks that would be a virus/trojan or something I dont want

“HackTool:Win32/crack” from games downloaded on fitgirl repacks site (the correct one)

Windows defender only lets you whitelist by file, folder, or process. You could whitelist a specific folder, but if you want to whitelist by category you’ll have to use a different antivirus product.
