All I can add to this is that if more software vendors released a toned down version with the important bits locked, or on a timed period basis, then you have to buy or lose it, then the above question would be less likely to be asked. It doesn't matter if it is a top rated game, or some strange and wonderful music creator, or even a half way decent photo editor, how can you tell if the software is for you without at least some sort of demo available.

Most descriptions either on the box when buying from a store, or on the vendors website, is never enough to give you a good idea as to whether the software is what you want. More info and or a possible trial period would rule out some of the 'try a cracked version to see if I like it' brigade. Not that I do that, I have more sense than risk my machine, I would sooner find a friend who already has it, to see whether I would want it or not.

As I am one who dislikes buying games before trying them, I will get a bit-torrent version and then delete it after I decide whether or not it is worth $45+. Naturally this is a dangerous thing to do, as the cracks that exist for games could easily be a virus. So what securities are suggested for those in my line of computer usage? I have the following already: Norton 360, Malware Bytes, Default security for windows 7.

I can see the ethical blurring / justification in you post. Unlike most ebooks, music and movies; Software and games are dangerous things to get illegally. That being said, if you were truly just trying the game out, a sandbox or virtual drive would best best because once you rebooted, all gaming progress would be deleted, as well as the installation and viruses. You could get a console and just rent the games. I bought Skyrim for my son (PS3) for his birthday but he got caught in big trouble.

I was going to return it (30 policy) I tried it a couple of time and hated it. Some co-workers encouraged me to keep trying it. Now I LOVE it. A trial copy of that wouldn't have helped my decision.

It took time to level up and see the vastness of it that won it over for me. Reading reviews from like-minded reviewers or asking friends is a good bet. Arduino uno kak programmator. The average lifespan of a computer by a person that downloads cracked software and games is 6 to 10 months. Buying games you don't know if you like sounds cheaper to me.

Ignoring copyright/ownership matters and concentrating solely on security/malware issues, I know of noone who has become infected by malware from downloading movies/tv shows from reputable sites but, as Crashoveride says, it is essential to read everything, including comments, very carefully. Keygens, cracking tools and pirated software, including games, are a completely different matter though and, in my view, should ALWAYS be avoided. A, ahem, friend of mine very stupidly downloaded a cracked security suite some time ago. A nightmare to clear up the resulting mess and very lucky to escape virtually unscathed.

I'm certainly not condoning P2P file sharing because, as Quietman says, due to its very nature, even if you take all available precautions, you will still be exposed to considerable risk. All I'm saying is, if people still feel the need to do it, there are less risky ways of doing so, and some areas that should always be avoided. Edited by n01paranoid, 03 March 2012 - 05:38 AM. I'll admit that I went through a phase in which I installed cracked WinRar, IDM and a couple of other essentials I felt were over-priced. I was broke but pay for IDM now and would pay for WinRar (if there weren't so many free alternatives now.) I was never a PC gamer myself but although there are some teams out there that release clean cracks and keygens, it's very easy to add viruses to them. So team sHaZBot (made up team name) may release clean stuff but a immature hacker could add a destructive virus to it and seed it on a torrent site or p2p network. An advanced hacker can add a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) and steal your identity.
