You should be EXTREMELY cautious with such files.
99 % of them are in fact a scam to get you to believe that you will be able to download an activation key or password or whatever in order to use an illegally acquired application... THEN what happens is that you, without knowing it, install what is called a DIALER applet into your machine...
What these little monsters do is to normally wait a given period of time when you have made no keyboard or mouse actions... Then the applet dials a number which charges out at very very high rates, such as sex chat-lines and other garbahhhggge.
And, YES... No matter what your highly-trained computer mates might tell you, they often work on connections other than straight 56K modem dial-up.
And... AND, the phone company will simply tell you to, "Mount up and rotate", when you complain about your astronomical phone bill !!! HA HA HA !
Beware...
There are always safer ways of getting what you want. |
