Is Warez File Sharing Safe To Use.i Used Kazaa For A While But Got Lots Of Viruses.......any Comment Welcome....thanks
No. The chat rooms are loaded with virii-spreading punks, and WaReZ is chock full of spyware and adware. Take a look at this thread.
But the bigger problem is that my wallet gets lighter . Whatever you do, don't get ROMs or emulators from any file sharing programs. Those are choc full of bad shit.
Invest in a good anti-virus i had sophos which is pretty expensive when aquired legally. It checks all downloading files and stops any which contains a virus it also checks every folder as you go into it and stops you from accessing any files which contain virus's its an excellent program. Shame i lost it now im stuck with norton anti-virus.
I stick to Kazaa for MP3, Suprnova (Bitorrent) for games, and that Russian site (in the above linked post) for apps. I find that 99% of web-based bootlegs are virus-free and actually work.
If everybody thinked like you there'd be no more programs on the market.. the programmers have to live, too
warez are great!!! There is no real virus threat (unless you are a complete moron with computers) the money you save on shit is worth the few minutes it takes to run a program like adaware
Not everyone does, and 90% of people either don't know about or can't understand how emulators work, mush less find good ROMs or get them working properly. Another 9% would rather play their games on a TV or Gameboy anyway. Besides, the only ROMS you can get and keep that work even halfway are from before the PSX era. Hell, you can't even find a descent N64 emulator (believe me, I've tried). As for music and movies, most of the money involved goes to overpaid actors and musicians who suck anyway. Jusy because they run a few ads showing the camera crew and art director asking people to stop pirating dosen't change the fact that the shitty actors make a dozen times more money off a movie than the rest of the people involved in the making of it do (except of course the director and producer, but most of the time they suck too).
