Cracking PC games is getting too difficult, say pirates

[bunchuu]

Well, not all game cracks come with malware or trojan horse you know? It depend where you get it from. If you get it from the safe torrent, then you will not get into infection mess.

yes, but sometimes it's difficult to verify it's safety.

and its better to run inside sandbox/VM as @darko999 said.

Most of pirated games contains malware or malicious code. The malware is concentrated mainly in the crack and keygens but also unofficial patch.
If we consider that even 0.1% of users were infected with malware from crack games, would mean that hundreds of thousands of people would be infected...

The only time I ever came across a keygen that wasn't infected was I actually knew the person writing the keygen! LOL And he made the source available to several people to look at! EVERY keygen is infected some more than others. Though I will say alot of keygens get flagged by AV's b'c the companies themselves send it to big AV distributors "Norton" to put on the list of infected programs...
