The next thing you can do is to check the file(setup) properties, if a malevolent person embed a trojan into an installer, the digital signature will be missing. If you deal with a suspicious program the simplest option is to use to scan the file– if the file is smaller than 32 MB of course and you have the advantage over your installed antivirus to see the results of many more antivirus engines, so a more accurate result. To be honest, the warez forums are not the only websites spreading infected software, a program downloaded legally from its established website can spy on your computer, can collect for statistics data about how you use your computer, what websites are you visiting or other private information, a behaviour which is perceived as a privacy threat by many users and even more, such programs are detected as malware by a few security programs. What to do if a file is larger than 32 MB? Using an online scan service like is a better alternative than scanning with a single antivirus because this service are using many antivirus engines but it has its limitation, it can scan files with maximum size of 32 MB and bad boys know it. The warez forums are the perfect environment to launch computers infecting campaigns for a good reason: anybody can upload to a files sharing website whatever he wants and post the link, nobody including forum staff can guarantee that the posted program is clean of malware unless somebody download the program and scan it with an antivirus but who does that? The forum users, assuming for themselves huge computer infections risks because very often a single antivirus it does not matter who are its developers, fails to detect the newly created trojans. Certainly, embedding malware, especially computer trojans in program’s setup files and spreading the links via warez forums is one of the different methods used by bad boys to steal emails accounts, banking or other important accounts credentials. This article has not as topic this debate if the warez use is justified or not, it’s everyone’s responsibility how they answer to this question and what are their actions. Although it’s illegal, some argue the use of pirated software(warez) mentioning the high cost of it, the lack of money or simply is using it because “it is there”, on some warez forums or blogs, without thinking too much at legal issues. The software, music, movies piracy is a reality of our days, we like it or not.
