What we checked

A launcher runs on your computer like any program, and it downloads the game and its mods, so harmful code in it can steal your accounts or files.

Files checkedEach official file is downloaded on a separate machine, opened with every file inside it and never run. ClamAV, a free antivirus, and our YARA rules look for known signs of harm in all of it.

3 of its 3 official files, with every file inside them.Last checked on 2 Nov 2026

Deep checkOur own tools read the Java code in the files and look for what harmful code does, like stealing logins or running hidden programs. They read Java code only.

2 of its 3 official files. 1 hold no Java code: programs made for one system.

What we found

What its Java code can do. None of this is harmful by itself: many launchers and mods do the same.

Accepts connections from other computers

The code references server sockets or an embedded web server. Used by some tools for local web interfaces, profilers, or LAN features.In all 2 files whose Java code we read

Can connect to the internet

It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, sign you in or download the game. What it sends is in Privacy.In all 2 files whose Java code we read

Can download and run new code

One class references both network APIs and class loading. This is the pattern of auto-updating loaders, but also of some harmful programs. Only the source of the downloaded data tells which.In all 2 files whose Java code we read

Can run scripts

References JavaScript, Groovy, Lua or similar engines. Programs use them for settings, add-ons or their interface.In all 2 files whose Java code we read

Contains code made for your system

Native libraries (.dll, .so, .dylib) run outside the Java sandbox. Used for speed, compression, audio, graphics or database engines.In all 2 files whose Java code we read

Creates code while it runs

The code can create or load pieces of code while it runs. Launchers load the game, its mod loaders and their own modules this way.In all 2 files whose Java code we read

Starts other programs

The code can start another program on your computer. Common reasons: opening a web link or a folder, reading hardware information, launching a helper tool.In all 2 files whose Java code we read

What we checked

A launcher can send information about you over the internet, such as your player name or your login.

Deep checkWe read the code and list each web address it can contact, and what it sends. We leave out code that is never used.

The 1 fake site we foundChecked on 2 Nov 2026

Of these, it gives a file with malware. Sites in one fold share their pages and their download.

If you downloaded a file from one of these sites

1. Drop the file in the Scanner. It tells you if it is an official file of Technic Launcher or a file of these sites.
2. If it is not an official file and you have not opened it, delete it.
3. If you opened it: run a full scan with your antivirus. On Windows, the built-in one is Microsoft Defender, in the Windows Security app.
4. If you signed in to the launcher it installed: use "sign out everywhere" in your Microsoft security settings and change your Microsoft account password.
5. Get Technic Launcher from its official site, technicpack.net .
