Come across one? post details here so others can avoid them.







Avoid anything which was created by '[SH]' coz it is a beastly worm which loadsa people av got.

Beware of anything claiming to be a Keygen or NoCD Crack. I've found viruses in several of them. Just to be safe you should always scan every file you get from P2P before opening it.

yes! beware because not even avg nor norton detected the one i had.
i only noticed zone alarm was killed somehow and virus had free access to everything.
i checked all startup enviroment (inis registry autoexec startup folder and found nothing)

if u want keygens i strongly recomend taking a few hours searching the web than destroying years of work with a single click.

if u only have games, its not such a big deal, keygens downloaded from crack sites usually are ok, but not allways

edit*
yes i forgot to say it was a starcraft update, because battlenet allows only updated versions to play online, and official update was available but no loader worked with it (no cd)

almost all files i downloaded were viruses of 1 kind and its mutations, the one infecting me was reported 'clean'

I always get my cracks from websites now (megagames, gamecopyworld, crackfind). But I still always scan them before opening, just to be safe.

i think its against the rules to post direct links to crack sites.

btw i have my own &#39;asta***sta lite&#39; search engine which means u get tha crack/keygen directly form web with no popups. it filters out all tags/objects and releases only allowed ones, so its damn safe to search/surf cracksites through it (except the zip itself containing a virus)

almost 3 years beeing up now, but my heart akes noone actually used it because noone knew it existed, but it makes my life easyer anyways.

Yeah I know, but the site he posted doesn&#39;t exist anyway. I was wondering if he misspelled it, or just made it up.

Many of them use ini files instead of / as well as registry. (these files can be found in windows directory/folder)
WIN.INI:

[windows]
load=c:\path\to\virus.exe;c:\some\other\virus.exe

SYSTEM.INI:

[boot]
shell=c:\path\to\virus.exe
SCRNSAVE.EXE=c:\some\other\virus.exe

(system.ini [boot] shell= should be Explorer.exe)

windows NT/XP has a different method of changing the shell

This page shows every possible method to tell windows to run a program when windows boots up.
