Thread: Who do many keygens etc have viruses in them

  1. #1
    I have recently downloaded a couple of key gens and they all seemed to have viruses in them.

    Why is this ?

    Is this a plot by the software companies to put people off using keygens ? like the Fake music mp3 files ?

    I recently downloaded System Mechanic 5.00 with a key gen and the key gen had a virus in it ! And there were lots of sharers of that file !

    Regards

    Why do people code viruses? If we knew, we could remove that part of the brain.

    Newsgroups & keygen websites, but definitely not P2P networks.

    use Keygen and crack sites instead.

    if you use crack-locator they're usually safe but use a secure browser and watch out for the spyware in the .rar easily avoidable if i could remember the name

    Alternatively, if you're downloading the software as well as the cracks then just look for copies that have the crack/keygen included. Even better, look for releases by known release groups.

    Thanks guys

    The strange thing for me this time was that the zip file inlcuded the software and the keygen with the virus in it ! (System mechanics 5.00)
