Removing Malwate/ Virus from Cracked .EXE

[mytunes]

Please delete if not allowed...

So I found a cracked version of win ols 4.7 floating around on the webs...

It uses the standard E VC installer, but then uses a cracked (chinese) version of the .exe file to run it.

Virus Total shows some stuff with the .exe (gee can't imagine that):https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/845 ... d/behavior

It is beyond my capability to dissect the .EXE and possibly the one .DLL file to remove said garbage, so I thought i'd ask if any of you gents could take a go at it.

If so, i'm more than happy to share the file on here...

It's a whole lot less effort just to set up a VM and run it in there. Pass through whatever hardware you need but keep that chinese crap isolated. It's the same with the chinese K-tag and pretty much anything from there. They may be false positives but not worth the headache. A lot of that software must be run in Win7 mode or earlier anyway. I use pastebin and other file sharing sites to transfer binaries from the VM back to my main machine.

Ill leave this for now because its good general advice for any software, but please support the original companies that make this software. If I change my mind or we receive complaints i'll delete the thread. This forum is a place for free tools and knowledge, not piracy.

I could be wrong, but I thought some of the new virus's and such could somehow port through VM Ware?

Thank you, and I normally do try to support vendors, this is one that I would rarely use right now, when I get to a point where I would use it more I will definitely purchase it.

You may be thinking of this, stay up to date and you should be OK.
