Wacth out Vista Pirates


I have recently received some info on Microsoft's approach to stop Pirated Vista users. Surprisingly its not Microsoft who's catching them out....Read below if your using a cracked version of Vista.


"VistaLoader and Paradox gone! The day has come, it is over the happy Vista cracking era, and no it is not Microsoft it is a 3rd party security software. Thanks to Steve Jobs who report this on his blog.


Several user have reported that ZoneAlarm 7.1 did disable their Vista crack, the news are fresh and we can only speculate what is the reason for it. What we know is that Paradox and Vistaloader did not work anymore after installation of ZA.

ZoneAlram installs an unofficial Vista update during the installation, could that be the reason? Or is it just coincidence?

Looks like MS is have some pardners work with them on this ILLEGAL Vista Activation."


BE WARNED! NOW IS THE TIME TO GET GENUINE

Just like all the other cracked software out there to be downloaded they will find a way to get around this setback, it will just be a matter of time.I would dare to say also that this might or might not hit ZA sales but that will remain to be seen as this gets more publicized.

Free software, whether it is installing a secret sponsor program on your machine or disabling a vista crack...you can never trust them these days.

Well I guess a pirate would not have a legal case but some could/would say it is against people's rights to shut down thier PC's for using a non MS program.
