    So are you saying that I need the... setup CD?

    Oh, I see. I thought VPC came with it, then I was thinking... it can't be that small?

    You need Vista Installation DVD. There is no way to get free Vista with VPC (the size of VPC setup + Vista setup = +3 GB!).

    Just find it odd, how people (*cough Computer educated and knowledgeable people/idiots), who are still downloading cracked versions of Vista Ultimate.

    Thanks for the explanation Tom.

    Here's my way of using the cracks and keygens. I have winrar installed and when I rightclick on a keygen.exe file and it allows me to extract the file then it's probably virus inside. So go ahead and extract the file to any name and it creates a folder by that name. I did that with the last keygen.exe file I was going to use and inside was 2 .exe files. One named keygen.exe and the 2nd just file.exe wich was the virus. I deleted file.exe and used the keygen.exe only and it works.

    Keygens can contain trojans. AVG has detected one keygen as Generic Trojan, but I have another keygen which is completely same, but it's used for other program. The strange is that the AVG didn't found anything in that keygen. Both keygens were from same "company/author".

    antiviruses detects some keygens and say that it detected trojans in them even if it isnt a trojan in the keygen, so some people get sick of it and doesnt care anymore and are downloading and using keygens and patched programs anyway. some antiviruses should be called antipiracysoftware, it isnt their job to do this.

    avg is a joke if you ask me. it couldnt even tell if the entries from spybot and spywareblaster in the registry were legitimate, i dont know if it detects the entries now anymore but i will still avoid using it.

    tashi: did i say that i was using keygens and such? i dont know what you mean. i hope you dont sue me for doing that. i have used keygens and such in the past but the past is the past.

    (i dont know if it is called sue)

    but using filesharing programs isnt illegal, even if it isnt so good to do it all the times.

    Hi blues,

    No just a general FYI for the topic. We see a lot of infections caused by people downloading such.
