New Virus targets AnyDVD pirates.

[Sabro]

As usual, I do not condone warez/cracks etc but for those of you that do, beware, virus writer(s) have targeted you.

While it's not exactly mentioned in the article, according to Sophos Anti-Virus the virus was first discovered in a supposted crack for AnyDVD. AnyDVD 5.1.0.1 Crack+Keygen By Razor.exe

im suprised companies arent releasing their own viruses like this to protect their software products

i cant see anyone trying to sue them over it
and even if they did they wouldnt have a leg to stand on
"your honour, i was trying to load pirated software that i didnt pay for and it wiped all the data off my hard drive"
