press Shift to prevent Autorun.inf being executed on medias (CD, thumbdrives, etc.)

Press when inserting or after insert?

in between

basically, when Windows detected a removable media, it'll try to locate if autorun.inf is in the root folder ...

so, press Shift just after your insert the media, but keep on pressing until the media is not read (e.g.DVDROM/flash drive is not blinking anymore).

usually it takes ~5 seconds after you insert the media...

What I find interesting is that let say for NAV, you can always reset the trial status by deleting certain registry keys. As for now, there's no way to detect the bypass method, unless Symantec implement other way to detect it. Btw, the most, hardest, almost-uncrackable AV is Kaspersky. Sure, it got lots of "pirated" keys, but it always get blocked in a matter of time...

Just get the rm10 per year key and you're good to go. No need to resort to pirated AV.

Here's a little anecdote for those of you who are new to RBN and the links to some cracked AV,OS or other software...



if you cracked it yourself, well still wrong but fine. If you downloaded a cracked version from some warez or P2P...or got it from your pirated software peddlers (like what Low Yat Plaza used to be)... then you're playing Russian-Roulette with your personal information etc.

Very true indeed. There's nothing more worth than your personal data, and those cracked AV solutions aren't even enough to protect you since almost all crack sites/downloads will contain at least one *freebie* with it.

Well , I cant afford to buy a computer myself(My parent bought it around 2 year ago , 2.66GHZ , 512mb ddr - 64 mb shared memory , and 1 unkown graphic crad) .... My windows is ori , 1 of the 2 anti virus/spyware im using now is ori and 1 is pirated and all my other app is basically freeware or pirated , you dont expect a student without any income to buy adobe photoshop cs4 or any other software through internet/shop do you? Unlike some other ppl im not in a situation I can ask my parent for some allowance as they are already stuggling for my internet and my schl money so buying app is out of question for me when I cant even afford to buy anything.

If you know of some good warez site , it is very unlikely to have any 0day atk or virus in it .... My roboform is a cracked ver and I have my alertpay/paypal account stored in it but is there any1 taking out my money? The answer is a no .... Im not proud of using crack but the world does not work as you expected it to be so and my answer for this topic is no , it is very unlikely for a crack antivirus to be virus or at least for me.

Well I didnt use Kaspersky but I could not agree woth your Kaspersky to be nearly uncrackable because there is a crack called whitelist crack which will let you to use those blacklisted key jsut like whitelist key but Im not too sure cos I didnt use it.The most inperfect crack so far is for spyware doctor as they dont let free user to update the full virus/spyware definition so cracking is not really a good option.

1.x year ago I bought a license for NIS08 for 1xx or something like that im not really sure , anti virus nowadays sure is cheap if you find some good reseller ^^.

If you're a student and didn't afford to buy the Adobe Photoshop CS4 suite, why don't resort to alternative such as GIMP or Paint.NET? It's freeware and didn't cost you a dime to download. You're the typical I'm-a-student-no-money-to-buy-originals.

You said earlier you didn't have money, so what's with the alertpay/paypal account? Buying Rapidshare premium? Or something else that you said can't afford to buy?

There you're wrong. Do you know how many years it take to have the so-called blacklist patch? And the fact that it's only usable with the older Kaspersky 6/7 only? If Kaspersky themself want, they can just disable updates for those version and where you'll resort to? Wait for another working blacklist patch for Kaspersky 8? You didn't use it, but you talk like you've used one.

I word. Pathetic.

Or you can just permanently disable the autorun feature from the registry. I find this "feature" more a liability than a convenience.

Just face the fact, using illegitmate versions of softwares will put you in some sort of security risk no matter how reputable the crack teams are (there're always chances that the files get altered during distribution). You should ask yourself: Is it worth it to risk getting your machine compromised with malicious softwares, when you just want to prevent it in the first place with antivirus software.

If you can't afford the paid version. Just use free and legitamate alternatives: Avira Antivir, Comodo Internet Security, OpenOffice.org, Irfanview, GIMP, Paint.NET just to name a few of these wonderful free softwares. There're no reason to pirating unless you're the typical "I'm-a-student-no-money-to-buy-originals" people who are too cheap to find alternatives.

Thanks for the help bro, but no point for me because I'm using Vista.

I dunno whats the complain all about. In life is now what you know is who you know just remember that.

Well , Im just giving Photoshop cs4 as an example , I did not mention im using it and I said "and other app"

No , Im not using it to buying anything but Im using to earn some allowance through advertisement and I dont have much fund in those account either since im quite new at those stuff but I've alreadt use those account to transfer money for a total of few thousand for reinvesting , I dont have any saving and I can only find rm12 in my wallet now but I dont use money much so oh well.
Well I have used it once when my NIS08 cannot removed the virus in my com this march(When I 1st discovered crack in this world) .... oh and did I mention I get the virus from a fake video of edison and Ah Kiu?All it matter to me is it working fine and no problem .... Kaspersky can disable those update if they wanted to but they havent yet so I will stick with Spyware doctor as the most inperfect crack since I use it for 3 month before I getting a free ori license but I dropped it after using the latest crap ver.

This whole fiasco reminds me of a scene in Terminator 3...



Remember that line, because your cracked AV (could be) is the Virus.

Excellent quote I must say

it could even be the original antivirus is the virus itself because u too depend on it even its a virus u cant tell.

It would be pretty hilarious if the AV automatically install itself in other computers eventhough I only pay for 1 copy.

It depends on your preferences to determine if a software has the behaviour of a virus/ sypyware/ malware/ etc.
