    Danger of using cracks website

    You are familiar with lots of site on internet which gives our cracks of serial keys. Like for Windows and other software. I have recently gone on a site which shows a warning on the page. The warning is about some threat. I closed it. But is it fine to go on such site and get free cracks. Does this serial key cracks really work and what is the danger of using them.

    The cracks are a vector for malware infections and very important. By downloading and running a crack, you can expose your computer to an infection, especially in general, do not detect any virus infection, because the cracks are packaged. Sometimes a simple visit to a site of crack can be enough to infect your computer, because many sites contain cracks exploits, those without their systems and software update are vulnerable.

    Never believe on this cracks. You can destroy your system if you go on such sites. This are all fake websites. They cheat users by putting viruses in the computer. Go only for license version of software's. Because they are virus free and stable. You can already see that in the upper part of the browser, a yellow bar tells you that the site offers to download a file or ActiveX on such site. Never allow this. Instead of that go on download it manually.

    The most common of effecting is to prompt for flash player or ActiveX. Once selected, if you look at the process right, new processes have emerged including: iedw.exe Iedw.exe or newsploit.exe. The site uses a flaw in the browser to download and install programs mostly unknown to the user. The user can do nothing. The well known WMF vulnerability is exploited. This vulnerability allows to execute a file without the knowledge of the user. So be sure while using this sites.
