Activate Windows within 2 days

The best way to remove viruses is to remove the hard-drive and scan it using a separate computer since malware and crap can sometimes interfere with your virus scanner if you are running it from the OS that had been infected.

I think the data for the virus got removed, but just the name still shows up. It shows up as "<1MB" and before it was bigger. Am I safe or should I continue to try and remove the rest of it (name, version number)

Guy just backup your important stuff and do a fresh install after formatting and deleting the partitions during a "custom" installation then activate with a tool from a trusted uploader on the pirate bay. Your making this way harder than it should be + your pc is weak you should be using windows 8.1 or 10.

If you're going to tell someone to go legit then at least try to be respectful.

You lose that privilege when you commit a crime.

I'm not going to link it here because it would be against the forum rules (this goes for everyone else, too) but look up "Windows 7 Loader by Daz" on Google. That's pretty much the de-facto Windows 7 SLIC spoofing loader that everyone uses.

Edit - that video didn't work because it's for Windows XP

I personally use Windows 7 OEM brander by Orbit for machines that I repair for friends and/or 'customers'. Yeah this is a little side job of mine, but shshshshh.
But that one is a great choice as well.

Not really, I used to pirate stuff. I deserved every bit of crap I got for it, and more.

Avast detects Dazloader as a virus. @Sicklyboy

Then don't use Avast lol.

Even if you download old Gamecube games where no one gets revenue and/or where companies went under?

Oh no, the poor used game market and eBay scalpers who don't get their inflated prices, XD

jk XD

What kind of crap did you get for it?

People pointed out that I was breaking the law, less respect in the community (not this one, it was a long time ago), people refusing to help me, etc.

Most people pirate Windows.

I think most people get it free as OEM, but I don't have any stats to back that up. Regardless, that makes you sound like a teenager telling his mother that "everybody else was doing it."

Yeah, well that's their thing, so if I download a game, from a company that doesn't exist, or doesn't get revenue, like say, a Gamecube game, technically, I'm still breaking the law, yes, but morally speaking, it is still wrong to download a game that people no longer get money from? According to some people on here, I should be punished and ridiculed for doing so and admitting to it, yet, people are backing up Gateway and get all upset if their code gets stolen. So many double standards. I backed up the games, I download copies of games I already own, and yet, I get labeled a filthy pirate. Same with Windows, I have the product key, and yet, if I download an ISO for a DVD I lost, that might be questionable.

I know, not a pleasant topic, but I am genuinely curious

activate Windows to continue using all features.

Which feature are removed if not activated past 30 days?

sorry, hijacking this thread a little for a question:
I just bought a new PC with win7, but I installed it twice (on two different drives/partitions, but on the same computer).
It's a OEM version and "should not be installed more than once, even on the same computer" as per the EULA on that disc....
I activated the main OS I use, and I'm wondering if I will have issue activating the second one (due to be a different HDD, and when the first one activated by itself, I had additionnal HDD connected too, to restore my data from old PC; so the hardware is different).
I wonder if the second OS will have issue to activate, and if I can keep it offline and not activated.

So, what will stop working if not activated? Can I still boot it and launch programs? (especially Acronis)

I know it's not what you mean, but there are actually free, legal, official ISO downloads for all Windows versions. If you don't have a product key, they act as trials though.

As far as I'm aware, the only thing that happens is that it won't be able to use Windows Update anymore (so possible security risks) and it'll nag you to buy it. I might be mistaken though. Also, there's a fair chance it'll work anyway.

@Cyan I'm not definitive authority on this but I doubt you'll have a problem, especially since it's installed to the same computer. I'm currently running (a retail copy of) Windows 8.1 on two entirely different computers and have been for about a year with zero problems.

And the other parts I discussed? I know the ISOs are legal, but if, for some reason, your product key somehow runs out of uses, then what is the protocol? Surely, one shouldn't have to spend $80 for an OS Microsoft no longer supports (AFAIK, Windows 7 support will end soon, if not it already has). I am curious as to how two partitions of Windows 7 would work on the same machine.

All I can say on that is that it won't work for Windows 8.1 if you try to run it in a VM. Before upgrading to Windows 10, I installed my running copy of 8.1 as a virtual machine. I thought it would detect that it's all the same hardware and work fine, but it gave me a warning about it already being on another machine.

 

[Cyan]

yeah, but it seems retail version can be installed on different computers, while OEM version don't (because they are supposed to be pre-installed on new computers only, sold without the disc)
I bought PC + win7 and they gave me OEM ... I thought I would get retail for the price I paid ...
I felt a little abused.

joostin : yeah, that's why I think I'll keep the other copy offline, but without activating it I wonder if I can still boot and launch Acronis programs.
It's a single backup partition I boot to backup my main partition.


I also hope I will not have to reinstall Win7 after a crash or whatever happens. it will be considered illegal ... I will use a crack if it's the case.
I bought one and can't use it as I want... I really don't like that hardware check.

This thread is pure gold, never had such a laugh in a long time!

Most people pirate Windows.

Actually it's easier to have a genuine windows than pirating it. Check if your school or your work has some kind of promotion: most of the schools, universities, colleges and workplaces in the world have some agreements with Microsoft to give students/workers a genuine windows license

It probably won't end for another 7-8 years. Vista is still actively supported.
