And I saw this comment by Captain Zero:
Be VERY Careful with this app. It will reg with the keygen but it calls home and will STILL let you use it. If it detects a keygen serial and you run any of the tests, it WILL scramble you BIOS and make your motherboard DEAD. You have been WARNED. This is a NASTY step towards anti-piracy by vendors.
IS THERE ANYWAY THIS CAN BE TRUE?
WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS CAN I USE?
You know the stuff bulls drop in the field well thats what this is (but dont blame me if Im wrong cause I was wrong once before I think it was in 1956

thanks, i hope it doesnt wipe my laptop. umm, i was born in 1989
skip Sisoft and use everest ultimate
then no worries
and ditto ‘s reply
thats a fake warning, I highly doubt because of possible false-positives of code detection if the program does have the capability.
It would be intentional damage of property, which is illegal. The best the software developers can do is disable the program or give it reduced functionality inorder to push you to buy a legit licence – the mere legal ramifications of implementing such an anti-piracy protection type stance would leave them open to basically bankrupting themselves with legal cases.
Ubisoft have developed lots of anti-piracy protections, one would detect more than one optical drive (dvdrw) in the system and believe it to be a system used by a pirate and stop the game from playing – reglardless if the drives were physical or virtual – even used by advanced users for purely legitimate reasons. Their “official patch” turned out to be a repackaged hacked game executable – which turned out to be from a popular release group that disabled the protection in the game which allowed the legitimate users to play the game on systems on legitimate systems with multiple optical drives (physical or virtual) for all be it, innocent and legitimate purposes.
Then they also had issues with Spore – legitimate users, abiding by the original game protection were only permitted 5 activations of the game – but if you had to reinstall or upgrade – that would take an activation- again they got busted re-packaging a pirated cracked EXE as an official fix for users who had legitimate reasons for exceeding their 5 activation limit but still wanted to play the game. Eventually the game flopped, now its standard practice by any user of the game to download a no-cd patch or a hacked game file for the game when they want to play – the few who still do lol
A software program scrambling a hardware only component ? LMAO, that would be a first
