I recently downloaded optifine and shader for minecraft. Now I'm afraid that I got a virus from it?

But I don't want to spend any money on an antivirus either

Where did you download it?

If free is too expensive, then I can't help you.

Did you download it from the official website? Just do a scan with Windows Defender. In a pinch, you can also use Bitdefender and start a free trial.

https://de.malwarebytes.com/...bytes.com/

also excellent in the free version

Windows says I don't have one, how can I get the free trial?

Za

Then you most likely don't have one either. Windows Defender is really good. Here you can press BitDefender, for absolute security: https://www.bitdefender.de/Downloads/

Which of these variants should I download?

Windows Defender is sufficient, otherwise start a full investigation and only download Optifine only on https://www.optifine.net/home.
