Basically the title.

More details : My gf's teacher basically sent them a link to download a pirated version of Photoshop to work on some minor thing. We live in a developing country where piracy is the norm even in universities and the like, because no student has the means to buy it. I just want to know if it's likely safe to download from there.

I've used getintopc several years ago without noticing any obvious malware in the downloads, however the domain you shared starts with the letter "i" so that's probably not the original site?

Yes I did some searching and was confused as to which one is the legit site now. It seems to have changed a couple of times. I don't know if this is run by the same people as getintopc.
