Installing Pirated Software
Okay so I download this program and this keygen
and this Crack.exe
and this runme.bat
And before I know it the antivirus is flipping out it's like
HEY MAN
UNCLASSIFIED MALWARE
TROJANS MENG
HEY MENG THIS STUFF IS DANGEROUS! D:
Like I know there are a lot of false positives so I allowed some of the stuff and went through most of the install process but eventually I get to the point where it want's to put this DLL with this strange donkey name in my syswow64 directory and that I'm just not okay with....
SO In the end I chicken out and nuked the entire directory with my antivirus software...
but I guess I want to ask about peoples experiences installing pirated stuff (if wee can... )
At what point do you know that the pirated software you're installing is legit or not legit? Do you take the risk, or do you back out in the end? Any stories of stuff that wasn't legit and all the malware it put on your computer?

RE: Installing Pirated Software
A lot of antivirus software false alarms on keygens and wil alarm on cracks because it is modifying the contents of files.

RE: Installing Pirated Software
I run it in sandbox first and check for weird processes.

RE: Installing Pirated Software
well I was running it in the sandbox and the installer and everything seemed normal lol but I chickened out after it wanted to put like anhnxasdkfjle.dll in my system directory.
I'm not sure if I can speak the name of the program I was cracking for legal/site rule reasons

RE: Installing Pirated Software
Look at comments before downloading.
File size can usually be an indicator (most cracks are small). Also can check if it's a self extracting RAR, which I find a number of people do to get their viruses to install.
