I am not sure which file to trust when it comes to program cracks, and keygens. I have heard that virus scanners will mark them as spyware/viruses etc. simply because it promotes illegal activity or whatever. When in reality they are not harming your computer at all.

Does anyone know what to look for in knowing if the program is going to harm your computer or not. And which one is better keygens or cracks?

Any ideas, opinions, knowledge, help, information, hunches, haha etc will be appreciated. =]

First off, Geeks to Go will not support any keygens, cracks or other illegal software, as stated in the Terms of Use you agreed to when you registered on the forums. Many keygens and cracks come bundled with viruses and spyware, which is probably why antivirus programs flag them. They are also illegal. If you are too cheap to buy software legally, then perhaps you shouldn't be using a computer at all. You will get absolutely no help whatsoever on this site for any illegal activities such as this. The topic is closed.
