Windows Vista crack is actually a trojan
Posted by l33tdawg on Friday, December 08, 2006 - 01:35 AM (Reads: 352)
Source: APC Mag
Malware makers are starting to take advantage of the number of users searching for cracks for the pirated copies of Vista floating around. A new download has started circulating around the crack boards called "Windows Vista All Versions Activation 21.11.06". It purports to be an activation crack for any version of Vista. However, the file is actually a trojan-carrier which will install Trojan-PSW.Win32.LdPinch.aze onto your PC. BitTorrent users who posted reviews of the crack said that a number of antivirus programs detected the malware, though Norton AntiVirus and NOD32 did not.

Malware makers are starting to take advantage of the number of users searching for cracks for the pirated copies of Vista floating around.
A new download has started circulating around the crack boards called "Windows Vista All Versions Activation 21.11.06". It purports to be an activation crack for any version of Vista.
However, the file is actually a trojan-carrier which will install Trojan-PSW.Win32.LdPinch.aze onto your PC.
BitTorrent users who posted reviews of the crack said that a number of antivirus programs detected the malware, though Norton AntiVirus and NOD32 did not.
In an interview about the Windows Vista installation process, and the ease with which administrators can pre-install software into a Vista install DVD, Microsoft Australia's John Pritchard warned that pirated copies of Vista could easily come with malware preinstalled.
"I would certainly recommend when people are looking at any content they make sure they have the approved and hologrammed DVDs to make sure they?re dealing with the genuine product, to get away from not knowing where the source comes from. If they have control of the unattended installation and built it themselves then hopefully they know what they are putting on it."

TI won't rush into Microsoft Vista readily
Two year sprint
By Charlie Demerjian: Sunday 10 December 2006, 07:29
CORPORATE AMERICA, no, make that corporate everywhere is treating Vista like a dead animal found in the woods, they will poke it with a stick, but there is no way they will take it home. Take TI for instance, it is not going to touch the wonder OS for another two years or so.
The memo below, posted on the TI Infolink internal site goes to show what a warm reception Vista is getting. You can upgrade thousands of machines and buy a new OS, or just stay put. Looks like almost everyone is staying put.µ
TI will maintain Windows XP platform; computer users should not install Windows Vista
(30 Nov 2006)
IT Services will maintain a global Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) operating system standard until 2009 in an effort to save TI a significant amount of money in licensing and support costs. This standard will serve as an alternative to migrating to Microsoft's new Windows Vista platform when that product becomes available in late January 2007.
IT Services strongly discourages TIers and contractors from installing Windows Vista on any TI-owned computer or using a home computer with Vista when connecting to the TI network. New TI computers will continue to include Windows XP through 2008.
"We're confident Windows XP will continue to be a stable, cost-effective and secure operating system standard for TI during the next two years," said Ken Rempert, manager of Client Services and Support. "Windows XP has proven to be a solid platform, and IT Services has adopted this standard worldwide to reduce cost and improve employee productivity."

I still say all you dummies that get vista should have your computers replaced with a teething ring.
And FYI, those cracks won't last long, as soon as vista officially hits consumer shelves in stores, there will be more sh*t for them to patch than there was with XP.
Hell, the first range of updates for vista will be out next week.
So we'll see how long those cracks hold up this time.
Btw, you don't seem to be running ultimate with all the bells and whistles on...
What's the matter, PC couldn't handle it ?

meh in time (6-18 months) it should be patched enough to try or even keep.
but untill then its not even worth looking at to try and test it.

...Which is my point exactly.
Lets be honest, i have the coporate install discs here, i wouldn't need no stinking hacks or patches, it's just that all the bullsh*t this comes with and all the bloat makes it seem useless.
There's already more holes discovered in Vista now then there where with XP in the entire year of 2005, so why anyone would be stupid enough to install this hunk of junk is beyond me.
And i had a look at the DRM's, and i don't even want to go into how badly you'll break the kernel if you try to work around them.
It will take either a stroke of luck or a sheer genius to crack this puppy.
So i say Billy Ga(y)tes can stick it.

then crawl under a rock and be in mac land or use unix and stop wanting windose stuff to run on it you can't have it both ways.XP took a year to mature,vister will be no different because they used the same old build plan they used for XP dev for it a bit beta test it for a bit find all sort of crap to be fixed skip fixing them now and release it NOW and then fix it as it goes along sadly thats how MS works,MAC works but unless a virtual console can do 3D its pointless dual booting is pointless unless you don't use the computer alot or you have a 2nd PC,if you have a 2nd PC just put XP on it and use 2K,linux or MAC,Windose aint going anywhere ,early adaption for OSs and consoles are genrealy costly and pointless unless its a WII... MAC has had only acouple slip ups with OSX so thier reelase record is good but genrealy theres 1 that breaks the don't buy it when it first comes out rule..

I will have microsoft's cake and eat it too !
Also, that last reply makes no sense whatsoever, try to breathe and think between sentences FFS.
Not to mention it's hard to read since there's no structure.
And the spelling... well..
Since yer already on dial up, you might as well take the time to do a spell check, it can't take that much time.

REYREY1,
About that screenshot that you linked to...
It seems a little strange that the activation window says 'Activation Successful', and yet in the bottom right corner of the screen, just above the taskbar, it says 'Evaluation Copy'.
