    Pirated Splinter Cell Conviction harmful?

    Is pirated Splinter Cell Conviction by skidrow harmful to computer? Last time, when i wanted to exit SCC, my computer just stopped and cant press anything so i pressed the restart button but then it wont start up again. So i bought a new one and when I open SCC, it stopped suddenly too but luckily i managed to end it using task manager. Is there really harmful malware inside it? why only my computer seems to have problem?

    Well, you cant trust the pirated versions of the game that you download from torrent sites/warez site. You see, some of those pirated games have viruses inside which gets automatically detected by the antivirus software and sometimes it gets removed but other times it harms your pc infecting all other security softwares. So it is better to have a legit version. Also, if your computer doesnt meet up with the game requirements then you are tend to get pc crashing problem, black screen problem and so on.

    As it is advisable not to install the pirated version of the game into the system as they are cracked and can be harmful for system but if you wanted to play the pirated version as other are playing then i think that you should have to check for the Graphic Card Compatibility of the game. Also i will advise you check for the Latest Graphic Driver into the system. Disable the Aero Theme of the Windows 7 and try to get the game running.

    Well, in order to check your graphics compatibility, i think would get much help from the following threads: How to check if graphics card is compatible with motherboard? And Windows 7 xp compatibility mode graphics card . And for the drivers, just visit this page, enter your make and model number, select operating system and download the required drivers. Hope this helps you.

    Sorry buddy, there might be some problem with your browser or internet connection. I just verified downloading with 3 different drivers and all are downloading properly. Am using Firefox 3.7. I'll suggest you to try downloading on any other browser from the current one you are using. Let me know the result. If you still face any problem than let me know, i'll download and attach the drivers with the post.

    Tungle is peer-to-peer VPN tool which helps you to connect your own virtual server. But one thing you have to check is the port forwarding. Your firewall or any security application in your computer must allow users to connect to your system via Tuungle. For better flexibility a dedicated port number is forwarded by the software.The same port is then added under the exception list of Firewall.

    I think that you need to uninstall Splinter Cell Conviction from your computer and have to reinstall it again. This time try not to update this game with the patch or else it will again give you some problems. By the way, you said you bought a new one, so did you buy a new Splinter Cell Conviction? Would you please elaborate your situation? Incase if you are using a pirated copy then, this discussion has to end here itself, because it is illegal as per forum rules.
