Do you download warez apps?

[ieatlinux]

I have realized that a lot of warez forums also have security/hacking section that clearly show people how to setup and maintain trojan server, crypt and bind malware to an executable (Installer, Keygen, etc), and everything else.
This makes me wonder what kind of shit is attached to stuff that I have downloaded in the past (I don't download applications anymore...).
What are your views and opinions on this?

Totally true. Most forums tell you how to make the file FUD (Fully Undetectable).
And they absolutely don't think about the fact that some members will put their shit onto the forums.

I only have 1 program that I have installed which is warez and that is Photoshop CS3 only after I scanned it with 20+ AV's (Virustotal) and sniffed the packets to see if it was sending logs to any sites, my AV is legit and I always use free and open source alternatives whenever possible.

This is my advice to people who download apps regularly; stop, your putting yourself at risk from getting your bank, paypal, and other accounts hacked. Its getting easier for people to make viruses FUD, there are even programs that do it automatically.

Linux is best if u need security. But it can sometimes Fuck ur ass hard.

No, just a movie guy, and the occasional music album, I use open source/freeware apps.

Who told u freewarez are safe. The coder may have put something into it to harm u without getting detected.
