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.Quote:

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' :angry:
I always get my cracks from websites now (megagames, gamecopyworld, crackfind). But I still always scan them before opening, just to be safe.
www.unknowncheats.com , no cd gracks.

i think its against the rules to post direct links to crack sites.
btw i have my own 'asta***sta lite' 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'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:SYSTEM.INI:Code:[windows]
load=c:\path\to\virus.exe;c:\some\other\virus.exe
(system.ini [boot] shell= should be Explorer.exe)Code:[boot]
shell=c:\path\to\virus.exe
SCRNSAVE.EXE=c:\some\other\virus.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.
Kazaa Worm - WORM_XMS.A (Low Risk)
This peer-to-peer worm runs on Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP.
Upon execution, this worm drops a copy of itself named XMS32.EXE in the Windows system directory.
If the Kazaa utility is installed in the infected system, the malware creates the directory, %Windows%\sCache32. Then, it drops multiple copies of itself in this directory with any of 82 possible names. It sets the attributes of these copies to hidden. It also adds a random amount of garbage data to the end of each copy so that the file size of each is different from the others. It typically takes several minutes for the malware to generate all of its copies, which results in performance degradation of the infected system.
This malware drops and executes a file, SYSTEM32.EXE, in the Windows system directory. This is a backdoor server program that compromises system security by opening the infected system to remote access. Trend Micro detects this malware as BKDR_RAMDAM.A. Once running, this program listens and waits for connection attempts from a remote user, using the client component of the backdoor program. It receives IRC commands from the remote user to connect to other IRC servers, causing the affected system act like a bot. After dropping BKDR_RAMDAM.A, the malware terminates.

Lucky I never downloaded that one. The name alone would have enticed me to open it.
