i feel eset, and other antivirus both don't detect pirate software, i don't know what your opinions are

There are many so called technology forums in China that provide ways to crack ESET, allowing software that should be paid for to be used for free. They even set “ download levels" if you are below the require level, you cant download crack software,

the last photo translate :

To prevent misuse and unauthorized sharing, downloads are only available to members of level 8 and above. ( if share this file, you account will be ban )

Sometimes, you even need to spend money to buy forum levels, which means you have to spend money to buy pirated versions. Although it's very cheap, around ten yuan, would anyone really spend money on pirated versions? if you want to use pirated versions freely, i understand you but i dont recommend, but if you spend money to use pirated version.......i dont konw what can i say

im a official kaspersky users, to be honest, i dislike this way to crack software, so why doesnt eset detect this way?? norton, avast and bitdefender boths not be cracked, because try to free need credit
 
Warez never dies. always. Same with torrents.

They could detect them but then the amount of false positives and time spend to triage Warez especially crack gen's would slow their business and databases updates to a crawl.

Also companies would rather take the Microsoft line of piracy that any user is better than none, plus they can make money of telemetry now.
