Half of pirated Vista is malware
About half of the downloads claiming to be free versions of Microsoft Corp.'s Vista operating system are actually malicious Trojan horse software, security vendor DriveSentry Inc. warned on Thursday 15th Feb.
Pirated Versions of Vista have been in circulation for months. They have been modified so as to avoid having to be activated. Microsoft is catching up with the pirates though by introducing new Genuine Advantage methods.
A crack for Vista Activation which has been circulating called "Windows Vista All Versions Activation 21.11.06" has been identified as a Trojan Horse that has keylogging capabilities.
Anyone who ends up with malware because of downloading pirate software deserves what they get.
