BlueStacks Triggered Trojan and Adware Warnings on My PC

Last month, I downloaded BlueStacks from its official website. My only intention was to use a safe emulator to play a game from my phone on my computer and purchase a costume in the game. I absolutely had no intention of cheating or obtaining paid content for free.

However, after installing the program, my antivirus software began warning me that a Trojan and unwanted adware had been installed along with BlueStacks. I saw that the antivirus software blocked the malicious software; otherwise, my computer could have been seriously compromised. I believe I have uninstalled the program, but I am not sure whether it has been completely removed from my system, and this situation is making me concerned about my computer's security.

I would not expect to encounter this kind of security risk when downloading software from its official website. I request that BlueStacks take user security seriously, provide a genuinely clean and trustworthy installation package that does not contain malware or suspicious components, and provide me with a clear explanation regarding this issue.
