some keygen makers like zwt,i think thats what the name is, monitors your pc and steals creditcard info and other important stuff. I mean these cracks and shit are illegal so even if they are harmless, the antivirus software will give it a fancy name and call it a trojan. These things are like 50/50.
Another thing, windows vista was nice. I downloaded a crack, old one, to validate it and then it gave me a vista boot loader error. I was so pissed. I burned a boot cd and was about to run the recovery console,but then my dvdrw drive died on me when it was going to be fixed. All I am saying is that you should have a dvdrw drive and also a dvd r disc so you can make a bootable cd. If not then you are putting in a bad situation. Just a word of advice, from someone who went from vista then back to xp.
I was not lying about the z.w.t. crack people.

I will probably go back to windows vista because of gears of wars will come for the pc. Too bad for all of the xbox 360 people becuase the pc owners will get the new updates while the 360 owners will not. Thats kinda bullshit, but it does not bother me cuase i dont have a 360.
activate windows vista, all versions
