That one must never click wildly on a webpage just because it
looks harmless..

I was searching for a No CD crack for Deus Ex and No One Lives
Forever 2. I found what looked like a legitimate page for it and
proceeded to open the said page.

Bang I had no less then 13 warning messages pop up telling me about
spyware threats and DyFuca downloader programs..

Lesson learnt......

Because you don't want to run commercial software, or be able to use
that USB memory stick you just bought, but you DO want to be safe from
mail viruses.

Well, AFAI can see anyway.

unfortunately you only learn the hard way and for the wrong
reasons...
if shouldn't be that you regret it for getting lots of virus
in your computer but rather cause it damages pc games
cracks damage pc games!
if you love pc games protect and defend them!
for what i know you are not CRIPPLED to not be able to put a
simple cd in a drive before using software
act like a true pc gamer if you want to be respected as one!
long live pc games crack free!

Two lessons actually:

(1) Use Firefox.
(2) Deus Ex doesn't NEED a crack, just open the System\DeusEx.ini file
and change the "CdPath=" variable to C:\DeusEx or wherever the game is
installed. Quite simple.

That can be a problem. If you've already got a nice computer outfited
with what you want, and Linux has some problems with certain components
(but Windows doesn't), are you supposed to just throw it all away and
buy different hardware for the sake of running Linux perfectly?

I know I was there a whole 2 weeks ago and most of the
hacks were indeed pulled ......

Why do they get yanked? Hacking does not violate copyright

Most of the EULA's say you cannot tamper with the code, as in modify it to
work in some way the owner of the property did not intend. On another note,
some of the things I went looking for became obsolete. Later patches from
the developer removed the CD check.

Why throw it _all_ away when you are able to replace only the bad hardware
with alternatives?

"Bad" hardware in this case means hardware that works fine in Windows,
but not in Linux. I know it's not the fault of Linux itself and rather
the manufacturers for not writing drivers for the hardware, but if the
hardware works just fine in Windows, are you still supposed to just
throw it away?

I guess you could always sell it and get some money back. Fair trade.

Oh ok I didn't see removing CD checking as an outright violation since
you're not really altering the programs core behaviour....

I wonder what Steam Killer thinks of this?
