Ok, I need some insight before I go back into Torrenting. I need a piece of software from a less than reputable company (Wondershare). Now I know Keygens can be run through Sandboxie or a VM to get the key but how do Patches and Cracks work?

One of TorrentGalaxy’s most trusted uploaders & software patchers keeps the software updated and uploaded & includes in the download listing the www.virustotal.com report for the installation files which shows a clean listing; however the Patch shows a listing for multiple AV/Malware software which shows the Patch being a virus. So, how do I use the software if the Patch is “infected”. Am I missing something? Thanks!

    I mean he says it comes from a very reputable source so he will be fine. If he finds something he should reported and make everyone know about it. And of course never sign in into your bank account on the same machine you use to pirate software.
