When malware removal expert, Aura, started helping these victims he noticed a common theme. Most of the users reported being infected after they downloaded and installed game cracks and Windows activation tools such as KMSpico.
So don't do that.

lol bullshit. i've pirated pretty much every game EVER.
Many people who buy legit copies have to use a pirated copy because it's the only one that works.
Here is an idea... if the legit copy doesn't work, then don't support them with money until they can produce something that does work? Crazy, I know.
The problem of course, is that you don't know until you try it after you buy it.
