I suspect the statistics might be even worse with a more general sample (not only users of Immunet). Huger Thank you for sharing your insight, Al. Like when you download a program that you know is supposed to be several hundred megabytes and yet the download link says 12 MB (just to toss a number out there). Now I realize in individual cases, it’s probably impossible to know the difference but I’ve wondered if anybody has studied just how much of the pirated programs really is malware.
It’s the heuristic detection kicking in because cracks do malware-like behaviour (changing executable files). And when I asked him about if, he said that most cracks show up as malware, but they’re really not.
I’ve had stuff I downloaded that was flagged (yes, I live dangerously sometimes), usually just the crack. However, does that mean the majority of such downloads are infected? I’ll tell you why I ask this: I have a friend who was quite involved in the community that cracks software and packages the software and cracks together and uploads them to torrent networks. I don’t disagree that pirated software downloads are a major source for infection. Do you ever download full version software that is accompanied by a crack? Detection at work.
