    Hello,I believe my PC has been compromised after I installed a cracked version of Adobe Suite I now realize this was a big mistake. Here's what happened:Right after the installation, a strange table briefly popped up on my screen and disappeared.Google Chrome tabs were suddenly closed on their own.I did a malware scan and found a suspicious file, which I removed. I thought that was the end of it.The next day, I received several Facebook Marketplace messages from Irish sellers — someone had contacted them pretending to be me.The day after that, my Instagram account posted a cryptocurrency-rel

    Xbox 360 cracked

    Even though the hack is very complex, and should not be done by you and me, but the crack will let you play back-ups of your Xbox 1 and Xbox 360 games, and will boot all normal xbox games, yes all, not just the onces on the compatibilty list. So we are one step closer.

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

    How cracked software that activates windows using digital license work?

    Hi I have a pc and I have activated it with a cracked digital license and last week I formated my whole ssd and I installed a fresh windows os but when I Connected my windows to the internet it got activated with my old cracked digital lisence now I know that Microsoft servers check pcs and there digital lisence based on the components of the pc and check if it's activated or not but this is a cracked software which it usually changes the registry key to make windows think it's activated with a genuine license but how does it still activates with the cracked digital license AFTER I FORMATED MY WHOLE SSD?!! to be sure I even secure erased my ssd and filled it with zeros to leave no trace of that software at all and IT STILL GETS ACTIVATED after I installed windows and connected it to the internet.. All I can think is either the cracked software hacked Microsoft to make me a digital lisence or it has implanted a code into my bios or other sections of my pc cause I have secure erased my ssd multiple times and it keeps getting activated with my cracked digital license if thats the case than it probably has viruses with the code as well. can you please help me how that cracked digital license managed to keep my windows activated even after 2 times of full secure eraseing and formating my SSD??

    Now I'm concerned about that cracked software implanting viruses(cracked softwares have viruses mostly) with the code that activates my windows in my bios or somewhere else and I want to know how the cracked software works in order to be sure and also reset my bios if needed

    P.S I also have heard that it uses some sort of algorithm that makes Microsoft servers think that the cracked digital license is genuine..
