    Hi Zapperboy10864,

    Well, anything going against the Terms of Service is bad in my book (unless it's really ridiculous) [Random Oreo ]

    Often these 'cheats', 'scripts' ect come bundled with baddies. Besides...even if it does 'work', you could be banned from the game mentioned

    Scenarios:

    1. Script not infected + Script doesn't work = Nothing
    [BEST SCENARIO]

    2. Script not infected + Script works = You get banned from game


    3. Script infected + Script doesn't work = You get infected


    4. Script infected + Script does work = You get infected and banned from the game


    Obviously, the decision is up to you, but I know what I would do...

    Season's Greetings!

    You must take a risk with cracks and warez files and programs. It's gambling risk. You can get something better or something worse, like honda12 said.

    Maybe you should try to install Virtual Machine program like Sun xVM Virtualbox or Microsoft Virtual PC and test programs in virtual interface without losing any data from your PC.

    You can try to upload a file for online scanning on

    Note:
    We do not support the use of illegal Pirated/Warez/Cracked software.

    Helping a person who insists on using such software, could be construed in the eyes of the law to be aiding and abetting a crime.
