The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    (I realize I posted in wrong sub-forum, but I thought this was virus section if you could please move it would be appreciated thanks)

    Is this enough to say its a virus? Removed by Mod

    It is a crack file (for which I will not say) although I have reason to believe its of a safe nature, and 42% says its not (Symantic, McAffee) all the major ones said no.. so what do you guys think?

    I do not think you will get any responses, anything to do with pirating software is not allowed in these forums. The mods and members work very hard to keep these forums on the 'up and up' ( I am not a moderator).

    Yes, we do not allow the discussion of software piracy. Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch. A free license key generator with a built in trojan/back door access is a good way for the maker to get some cc numbers/emails accounts/personal info etc that they could sell...identify theft can be hard to undo/fix.
