MODERATORS
I have yet to ever have this happen to me. I've been pirating Windows OSes since Win2000 days.
This is only a risk if you don't know what you're getting into and do not take precautions. The best security for your PC and OS is common sense. Anti-virus and that junk just want your money to make you feel secure.
Okay, I warned you
Okay, thanks for an unneeded warning because nothing wrong has happened to me all this time. You keep sitting in that corner and being afraid with your little tinfoil hat on.
nothing wrong...as far as you've seen. Modern malware is silent and doesn't make its self known.
