I would not trust pirated software.
I wouldn't give it a blessing and I would say a prayer.

There are many utilities there and any one of them could have been trojanized.

I've used it a few times now , mostly just to see how it works, With my
hard drive still connected, and yes I was weary of this, but I have used it
with no ill effects
I think it is an ok alternative to the UBD for windows.
besides it does have allot of useful tools, pirated or not.

Might be a good idea to include a note in /The alt.privacy.spyware
FAQ/ about people around here not liking the use of and/or promotion
of pirated software.

Without being too sanctimonious [g], being a thief is a lot like being
pregnant --- either you are, or you are not. There really is no grey
area. Contrary to popular folklore, stealing from rich people (MS) is
still theft.
