We do not assist if cracks, keygens, pirated software, etc. are present

[negster22]

We will not participate in cleaning a system or providing any other assistance if there is evidence of cracked software, keygens, or otherwise pirated software present.. no if, ands or buts:

If we determine that you are running one or more cracks (programs that allow using software without paying) we will withdraw support for your topic.  It is our policy not to assist when someone is using cracked software, keygens, warez or other pirated software.

Crack, keygen, and warez sites are infamous for bundling malware along with cracks.  Obtaining and running unlicensed software in this way, may impact your system so it no longer functions properly.  Unfortunately system damage, is often a side effect of an entrenched malware infection which you can obtain by downloading cracks.

Because of legal and ethical considerations, SpywareHammer’s policy is to refuse to participate in the cleanup or restoration of a system that has unlicensed software: Site Policy and Forum Rules If you have become infected from using cracked software to bypass licensing software requirements, your best plan would be to reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows.  This would eliminate the infections* you may have sustained and also restore your operating system's functionality.

* with the exception of the mebroot trojan (aka MBR rootkit)
