Just seen a great example of why not to use a Keygen to crack legit software.
I was called in to a friends PC to look at why it was running erratically and internet kept locking up.
He had downloaded a copy of Acronis True Image Home with a Keygen program, and that nice Keygen had loaded a sneaky Trojan that disabled Windows Update (to prevent the Malicious SW removal tool from downloading) and various other items then proceeded to use his own PC to distribute Spam within a bot network!
Got his fingers burnt and reloading all his PC will teach him not to do it again!
Warez have that special characteristic, they're fully loaded! ...which I personally find as being a positive thing!
It a risk that people are willing to take I guess.
its simple! why will somebody reverse engineer a software and crack it without any reason?
I prefer invite-only trackers becose of that..
warez rock

If you people don't like to spend money for software, why don't you use FREE software?
Example:
- Linux
- OpenOffice
- FoxIt Reader (PDF)
- ...
... there is very much free software outta there, and in many cases, free software is better than commercial one.
Just search!

Who doesn't use warez? I just use warez for movies and to try stuff out =/ If I like it, I buy it. Problems is in trials all the software is limited, I want to try full software, but stupid companies are retarded T.T

you can trust your warez forum and your "warez friends" on the forum. but do you know where they got the Keygen from? perhaps a chineese forum? and where they got it from?
even if you trust your friends on the warez forum who knows where the software came from, it' not like the people on the forum intentionally put a virus in it

lol why not AVG? AVG detects warez quite well. On the warez forums i always see "AVG DETECTED VIRUS! PLZ HELP!!!!" lol.
Yeah but in my experience AVG detects every keygen as a virus/trojan lol. It doesn't care. Says trojan lol. I use CA AntiVirus.

Especially considering the author of the software is a member here, not really something the forum can let slide if you think about it.
All round Rico's house to steal his car keys from his pocket while he is asleep
Good point except...
when car shopping you RETURN THE CAR AFTER THE TEST DRIVE.
when trying out the latest video game at Best Buy you LEAVE THE GAME IN THE SYSTEM AT THE STORE AFTER YOU'VE PLAYED IT.
and when shopping around for PPC software you DOWNLOAD THE TRIAL VERSION AND UNINSTALL IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
WAREZ IS STEALING and most members of this forum take it seriously.
How would you feel if I came by your place and just took everything you have that I'd like? I mean afterall why buy it when you've already paid for it?
You've gotten your a$$ whipped by the members already so I'll do you the favor of closing this thread. I'm sure you've already been warned but I repeat it publicly (for all to see)... XDA-DEVS MODERATORS WILL BAN WAREZ OFFENDERS.

Torrent Droid: Scan Barcodes, Get Torrents
Written by enigmax on March 11, 2009
You are standing in a store looking for a new DVD to buy. Rather than buying it, you photograph the barcode with your phone and press a couple of buttons. By the time you make it home, the movie is waiting for you in your torrent client. You can with Torrent Droid.

wouldn't develop/sell/distribute something like this, to be honest. See piratebay for how you can be held responsible for aiding someone in downloading stuff they shouldn't download...
Looks interesting to say the least. I like one of the comments saying its like a new way to shop lift. On a side note has anyone tried that Droid2Droid app on the market saying it works with limewire and other P2P sites? $10 is way to much money for an app like that.

No need to throw insults about like that
EDIT: Just read it. The ultimate truth? No. I see A LOT of 'good' software that has been pirated, that has come from big developers and the little guy just starting out. They crack for fun/addiction/because they think they are rebels etc, whatever the reason they will do it because THEY CAN, not because there are ethics involved. Seriously, which major company went "Hey guys, our software got pirated on the first day and we didn't make any money from it, let's release something truly innovative so they won't pirate it." Sorry, that is NOT the 'ultimate truth'.
What a pointless article (IMO).
this is bull ****. there are lots of apps cracked that cost only like $10 made by some developer that only has this tiny simple but cool app that most find usefull. So this developer gets 1000 apps sold over 1.000.000 cracked downloads.
Now lets just steel that new Toyota car because it's only a little design change from the last model and some minor changes to the breaks system.

Ok
1) If you read the whole summary of the truth about piracy Iam not saying piracy is good on a whole level. But if there was no piracy , the games made would be old rehashed garbage. Look at Gameloft games for windows mobile. They basically make the same game over and over with different graphics. That to me is theft selling us non-sense with pretty package.
I know people from both sides of this war. Developers from xda-developers,ppc geeks, and pirates like ppcwarez . Iam not going to sit here and say lets take the developers side on all issues. Thats non-sense , Iam a freeware developer myself , with commercial software too. One-sided thinking will just continue the war. I do support the independent developers , for they make truely innovative original software.
As far as the insult...the man called me out 1st...I just responded.

I immediately think that you're trying to get traffic to your own website rather than discuss the matter here. So rather than go there and read it, I'll discuss it here at XDA, where I'd rather keep my attention and loyalty.
Any law that basically says making a mixed tape for someone else is illegal is complete garbage and media companies can take it and shove it up their a**.
Any law that says I cannot "loan" a movie to someone else, even a complete stranger, and that I have to be responsible for the actions of the person I loaned it to is complete garbage and media companies can take it and shove it up their a**.
Any law that says I'm responsible for what happens to something I loaned someone else is complete garbage and media companies can take that law and shove it up their a**.
Any law that tells me what I can or cannot do with my own property is complete garbage and media companies can take it and shove it up their a**.
Stop enforcing 100-year-old copyright law for media medium that doesn't fit into the law.

Sorry, but that makes no sense whatsoever. By the same reasoning, stealing televisions should force the manufacturers to make better ones. That is simply wrong.
Not to offend, but to be clear, I find your arguments blinkered and naive. Piracy has very little to do with sticking it to big companies. 99% of the time it's about getting something for free.

I agree. It's not about sticking it to big companies. It should be about revolution with digital media and laws, and electronic freedom.
fairness
So judging by the comments so far , both of you believe hacking and cracking software only hurt companies and developers. Also you believe is there was no more software pirates, that would benefit the consumer. The major companies say the same , cracked software leads to high priced games.
1)False= cracked software does not lead to high priced games. I remember super nintendo was charging $40-$60 a game. So that is false statement.
2)Facted= Cracked and pirated software has been around since early 80's,90's . People were happy around that time period with quality of thier software, so people didnt look for free downloads or cracked software. This isnt just about games Iam including the industry as a whole. This includes movies,music,and video games.
Opinion= I believe once those 3 industries started to make rehashed and low quality products, people started looking toward pirated software. If this isnt true, then this issue would have come up a long time ago.
Now to rorymeadows , no Iam not a teen and I dont sound or act like one.
I have absolutely no idea how you got any of what you said from my post, but you're wrong. That's not what I'm saying at all. You're just assuming things.
I wonder what this post will be about!
Incidentally, you should look at the technological and social changes that have taken place over the last 30 years and factor that into your opinions. Piracy is a bigger issue now simply because it's in your face, in your living room, on the internet and on your PC. 30 years ago it was kids copying tapes with games on them, but no mass forums to make it publicly available. Music was copied, but it was time consuming so not done as quickly as it is today - the same goes for movies (tape-to-tape VHS recorders for example). Times have changed, but the essence of piracy hasn't. Lots of people like stuff that costs nothing. That is the only fact you can state.
Well there's another thing going on, too.
I was browsing the Microsoft Mobile Marketplace last night. One of the programs I found up there was Resco Photo Manager. $60. $60!!!!!!! For THAT?!?!?! A program that I'd probably use 10 times a year is $60??!?!?!?!
I used to work at the college dining hall back in undergrad. People used to steal and steal, pocking pop-tarts, walking out with drinks and subs without paying. It drove the price up more. Yes, stealing jumps the overhead and makes things costlier. But did that stop the stealing? No, in fact, it made it much worse.
johncmolyneux and rorytmeadows both are correct.

MSE is a great program, if only Microsoft would have done that right before now. They have two good ideas, MSE and the Zune. Maybe version 3.11, I liked the windows.
you can always get malwarebytes (free for personal use) and scan with it in safe mode (full scan is best) and see where that gets you, it gets most stuff.
I had one of these at work today.
Google "Manually remove antivirus.net" and after some googling you will find the registry lines and files you need to remove. YOu wont find it by searching and the website will tell you [random.exe] for the name. It truly is just random letters. Follow the first RegEdit you have to do and you will find the name of it.
Just use Combofix from bleepingcomputer.com Then run a full scan from malwarebytes. I can also confirm that Microsoft security essentials is the best free AV available.
Unfortunately, FBI shutdown Megaupload. Is there any way that they would be back up and running again or they are screwed. Furthermore, would the paid members of megaupload get their money back if they can't provide service?
Hosting pirated software and movies etc. is illegal. Do it enough and you get shut down.
The official thing I read said that they had been profiting from hosting copyrighted materials so they were shut down.
The usual mantra of saying that they can't be held responsible for what people upload to their service finally failed these guys.
I worry that it doesn't bode well for some other services, if they can prove that companies are profiting from copyright materials in the same way.
Technically even Youtube could fall foul of it too. Even though they have their method for reporting and taking down videos - which is flawed in itself and is abused by film, music and tv companies anyway

That's a totally simplistic (too simplistic) view on the matter. Megaupload was responding to DMCA takedown notices, so from this perspective, the "safe harbor" rules of the DMCA applied. Well, they should have. But of course the media industry came up with a whole bunch of stuff that removed the safe harbor protection from Megaupload. And the people behind MU were being a bit stupid as well, that helped the media industry make their case. This can serve as a lesson to others, to not repeat the same mistakes.

Maybe I'm slightly skeptical, but I detect sarcasm.
So... how are we going to share ROMS or programs that is built by developers? Even the government legalized rooting phones and tablets, so I wonder how would the distribution be like. Otherwise, we might need a private web space to be able to by-pass FBI. I mean yeah, I am against piracy and all that crap. But this legal stuff that we are sharing through Android Dev, businesses will slow down. I know there are many options out there but, after several months? perhaps, they could be shutdown as well.
MegaUpload was the best file hosting service online I've ever used. Too bad they get theirself in this kinda crap.
Although,they are already rebuilding megaupload in other country,where those laws aren't applicable.
