Well it's only leechers that download, so let them.

you could always try emailing it to yourself - see if the inbuilt AV says anything.

avast antivirus has a 'sandbox' which lets programms run somehow controlled, get your key number and close it.

also find with A/V stuff ALWAYS zip the file as they normally get swalloewed.

sorry to have wasted all our times then....

[cactikid]

there is no problem wasting our time what if it was real then what? you see something dodgy you query it better safe than sorry.

no not really, sometimes key gens, do have a free virus.

Althought we don't talk about torrents here on the worlds best website, it is possable somebody has a clean file, some downright dirty scum bag, leeches it, adds a bit of malware, sticks it back, denys all knowage.

ALWAYS

run a virus check after keygen anyway.

i'm here all week.

OK my friend, I think I am pretty certain the staff here know what they're doing.

This is a query for the staff: where are you provided the links from in the first place?

[satsmo]

Thanks just ran them through Jotti's malware scan (http://virusscan.jotti.org/en) and found a couple of nasties, so deleted each one.

DAMM due to DK rules unable to upload said file, but basically i have a keygen for windows XP - one vitus checker goes divvy, another keeps stum.

Same with another 'file' i used to have. (donated to the homeless)

[Bann32]

I didn't realise, this was going to cause so much hassle, I was only asking for someone to check them out, so as to avoid problems for other users, yes they may have known they were infected, but they also might not.

@Paul... eh??
