hello all, Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I have downloaded a software from a warez site. virustotal shows it as safe, but my AV Bitdefender blocks it as malicious program. This .exe is a crack for a well known software. Is there any way i can verify the MD-5 or SHA for this exe? do crack exe's have different signatures? i am a noob in this area. kindly assist. thanks a lot
both pisthai and Katzenfreund are right. 1 ) MDL is not a warez forum, although the Daz loader and other programs live here. 2 ) Using cracks / patches are just like having promiscuous sex - You never know what you'll catch. Most if not all cracks / keygens are identified as malware, because they use coding techniques designed to circumvent Digital Rights Management. The problem with that is that a virus maker / hacker can load a trojan / keylogger onto your machine because you ignored the virus warning. We live in dangerous times, so, I suggest you be careful.
Seeing that you want to install an antivirus I can advise to install a good FREE alternative to BitDefender: Avira Free (google it) It plays really nice, sometimes causes some performance negative impact in some systems though. Worth to try it.
