    What is your opinion on cracked anti-spywares?

    I'm doing a survey, and I'm interested in having your opinion. What do
    you think of illegally crack anti-spywares, provided it's completely
    clean and works 100%?

    You said it all when you used the word "illegally"!

    If you use it that makes you no better than the perpetrators of spyware.

    With regard to antispyware programs and antivirus programs, I really don't
    believe in using/running cracked versions. If I need the features the paid
    for version offers, I'll pay for it or use a free alternative.

    Those programs have to be updated more often than many other types of
    software. If the author/company is asking for $$, and you find the program
    valuable (why else would you keep it?) then pay for it. You support it's
    continued development.

    Thank you all for the fast replies. I ask everyone to keep answering
    the question, but I would like you to answer an additional one as well,
    since this will bring much more conclusive results: If a new
    anti-malware program came out that removed absolutely EVERY spyware,
    adware, virus, trojan, and every other bad program known to mankind, so
    you wouldn't have to ever get another program again, cost $500 for a
    lifetime subscription, would you buy it or download a 100% clean and
    working crack?

    Why not? I paid more for the VLK keys I have.. Some things, just
    should be done legally. I wouldn't screw around with a "cracked" copy of
    any security related program; You can't trust it. No such thing as 100%
    clean crack, either. In order to crack the program, you are altering the
    way in which it works. Either disabling an api call entirely, or
    redirecting it someplace else. Without extensive time studying the file,
    you can't be sure the patching your doing hasn't broke something. And if
    you are cracking the executable, do remember, they can change at any time
    as the vendor makes changes. Each revision would render your crack
    worthless.

    If your security is important to you, why would you risk running modified
    copies of the software? You don't know who's been in the file before you
    got your hands on it. Say for example, you apply some crack you
    downloaded, it seems to work. What the crack didn't show on screen was it
    patching the database files so the program can't scan for certain things
    anymore. Or perhaps, it not only cracked the software, but disabled it's
    ability to actually scan anything; leading you into a false sense of
    security. You think it's running, and it's not.

    Say it only modified the validation key sending, and it didn't do
    ANYTHING else. The program ran perfectly. The crack would never break,
    and it would never break anything. It really was a 100% perfect crack.
