Half of Pirated Vista is Malware

DriveSentry has claimed that about half of pirated versions of Windows Vista actually contain Trojan horse software.

“With Vista’s consumer launch just days away, hackers have been bombarding discussion boards with offers of “cracked” versions of Windows Vista, which are typically being distributed on peer-to-peer networks, said John Lynch, vice president of sales and marketing for DriveSentry.”?

Users who fall for the scam could end up with very nasty problems.

But one thing is on my mind, how do they know?
