    Hi all, I am currently using a trial version of eset smart security 4 and have been successfully using "crack keys" from a trusted web site.
    Now its telling me my trial version had expired in 1970..... yes 1970?
    It's still updating regularly and accepting the crack pass keys. But the eset icon is RED and telling me maximum protection may not be ensured, will this still be fully protecting my computer?

    moderately concerned laptop user.

    thank you (in advance)

    Discussion of using illegal "cracks" or other warez is prohibited on NBR, as per the forum rules. Ask your questions elsewhere.

    Cracks are illegal. This is no different than lifting it from the store. Such topics cannot be discussed on NBR. If security, reliability and assurance are important to you, purchase the program legitimately.
