    It’s just setting up a keylogger so it can help you when you suck at your new pirated game :)

    Ah yes, Windows…

    Not only for viruses, I saw legitimate software creating those console windows to run.

    Even if I am pretty sure I’m not getting a virus, I’m always nervous when that happens regardless of the program on my desktop.

        I fucking did it was tenish year ago. Ran it in a vbox for the fun of it. Oddly it was the best windows experience I ever had. Can’t say how much malware was in it though.

        And yes I forgot an s so fucking sue me champ

          I used pirated versions of XP for a decade. Nothing bad ever came of it. There were a lot of crackers back then that just did it for the challenge, and shared it because they wanted to.

            My first copy of Winxp was stolen from windows a week before release, I found out when I saw a picture of someone holding a burnt disc with windows xp on it outside of Microsoft and it had my serial key on it.

            Edit: here’s the picture.

                13 year old me loved that my windows key had fuck in it. I used to know that entire key off by heart.

              That’s awesome. I eventually got my hands on an enterprise CD key that was given out to over 1000 students at a university and used that instead of the keygens for tortented ISOs.

              Same here actually. Now it’s totally free spyware/adware, so those days are gone. I just use Linux now.

    hard power down like Barry Allen; rips phone cable out of wall (and rj45 in half); runs to router and rips entire power strip out of wall; safe mode with no idea if this helps; blindly searches for very new or old .bat files; tries to figure out how to search entire registry by recent; sob; play eu1 or whatever it was 30 yrs ago
