04.09.2008Windows Vista Keygen a Hoax
Thanks to dw2003 for
submitting this to the Front
Page.
KezNews forum
member Computer User ,
quickly infamous for releasing
his Brute Force Keygen to the
world, has confessed the piece
of software isn't all it was
hyped up to be. " Fact is
the brute force keygen is a
joke, I never intended for it
to work. I have never gotten
it to work, everyone should
stop using it! " This is
quite a shocking statement for
the simple reason that many
have already reported that
they have found keys which
activate just fine.
" Everyone who said they
got a key a probably lying or
mistaken! " Either the
author of the program has
decided he does not want to
get in trouble, or he is
genuinely telling the truth.
In short, the generator does
work, but it is a very
impractical crack.

14.11.2008Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

06.01.2009Ballmer: Pirates won't have it easy with Vista
Yesterday a Neowin member
linked to a DIGG article that
was sourcing
this
website with a screenshot
of a supposed key generator
for Windows Vista. Since last
night it has been updated and
the poster claims to of gotten
hold of the keygen in a
non-working state. Elaborate
hoax or the real deal?
The screenshot lower
on
this
page shows DLL errors when
running the keygen and it
clearly states on the web site
that it didn't work. The
crack appears to be of Russian
origin and only time will tell
if Microsoft's "dial in"
feature really has been
circumvented.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
told Wall Street analysts that
the company might "dial up"
the intensity of antipiracy
technology baked into Windows
Vista as part of an effort to
squeeze more revenue from
China, India, Brazil, Russia
and other emerging markets.
Ballmer's comments
came during a conference call
with financial analysts in
which he repeatedly hammered
home the theme that sales
forecasts for Windows -- Vista
in particular -- have been
"overly optimistic."
One way Microsoft can
bump up Windows sales is to
tighten the screws on pirates,
Ballmer said. "Piracy
reduction can be a source of
Windows revenue growth, and I
think we'll make some piracy
improvements this year."
"We have new
technologies built into
Windows Vista, something we
call Windows Genuine Advantage
we've really dialed up
in capabilities with the Vista
release," he said. "I do
think that will bring some
revenue growth. We will have
strong growth in the Windows
business in emerging markets:
China, India, Brazil, Russia
and many others. Those markets
are very high piracy."
