I recently downloaded a program from a torrent site. I have tried to look through most of the forums, but haven't been able to find a thread that could help.
The program was downloaded as a .iso file. What are my steps and programs to use to be able to 'open' up the program for me to be able to install and use on my pc??
You downloaded a file that was a free trial, so that was legal, from reading your posts I can't see anything that suggests your doing anything illegal..., So, I'll give you a hand ... :-)
Well, since you said torrent site and .iso, the logical deduction would be that it was pirated software.
Being a bit more specific about things like that is always a good idea, since we get a LOT of people here asking for help with pirated material.
Just a note...
Be careful with Daemon Tools, as the latest free installers were rumoured to be spyware infested. However, I think it is only in the added extras, so if you do get it then make sure to only install the core Daemon Tools bits :)
