You need to change where you get your stuff from then mate.

Every single game that I have, I run a NOCD patch on, so I can keep my LEGALLY BOUGHT Disks in pristine condition, my copies of Windows are all installed from "iffy" ISO's.
I have extended my home and built a LAN room to house all my PCs. Every licence I have for each PC is legally bought, but the install Disks are all hookies and / or adapted to each PC for ease of installing.

If you really have had THAT much bad luck then thats your problem for downloading from bad sources.

You have proven nothing.

I could get 100 copies of xp/vista/7 from various sites and prove all 100 are malware free. It'll just prove that you're inexperienced that's all.

i had to look at a friends pc last night.
he had the black desktop and the "you may be a victim of software piracy" on his desktop.
i had a little look about on it before i reinstalled it properly, and it was reacting really fast. there was nothing slow about this pc. (XP pro)

i wouldn't mind but the oem licence sticker was on the side, so why put a dodgy copy on it? :confused:

I have done that on all my PCs

Although I have not put a single sticker onto the Case, all my licences are safe and on the box, along with the original Disks.

But putting hookie copies of Windows is somethign I have always done...

Well, ok I used a hookie Win3/95/98 and ME each until I bought my first legal Windows, that was funnily enough Win2KPro and I used that legit but once I found out how to do little tricks, I started to make custom installation disks.

Then with slipstreaming Service packs into the Disks, and including Serial numbers, User info, and drivers and so on, I make disks specific to each PC.

Now, its slightly different with Vista & Win7, but with my XP64 PCs ( All my LAN PCs were XP64 until about a year ago, but With my XP / XP64 PCs I just put the right disk in and boot from it, press the startup key to boot from CD and I go away. 20 minutes later, I have a PC with a nice fresh install, fully formatted and cleaned up, username and passwords already setup, and a couple of system tools already installed and ready to go.

Fastest install Disk I ever managed was on my NF7S & Barton3200 that installed XP Pro in just under 6 minutes from power-on. ( Heavily trimmed though, but fully functioning )
 
Its you mate... Trust us... its you!

And you need toi go elsewhere for your torrents anyway. I dont rate P.B much at all TBH and I have not used it for years. Especially not now anyway.

There are many more much better options that Im not going to tell you here.

Forget about Pirate Bay and just buy a legal copy.
