Could have to do with the removal of copy protection, enabling of play without a cd where a cd is usually required, or stopping the time limit on a trial etc.
Try googling for the name of the .exe for the game in question, finding a crack might be that easy.
Having put a nice scratch through my warcraft 3 disk and downloaded over 300 "no cd" cracks from different sources, i found Norton rejected every one. Because of the numbers involved i would suggest that organisations rather than individuals are at work, and that only those with fully updated anti virus software, mated with firmly crossed fingers go down that road. :ghostface:
I gave up in the end.
cracks never work with Norton :huh: :huh:
If you tell us the game in question then maybe we could help you further...
