Avast! or skype is making my PC slow

This.

I don't have to say anything more. This is why you have over half of the front page of the Non-Emulation Help board filled with your topics. And this is also why your issues are so off-the-wall. They're not typical issues (for example, all of the Wii help topics you created).

The number of issues you can come across from an unverified vendor of any sort is nearly infinite. I feel bad for people trying to help you out without them knowing that the issue at hand could pretty much be ANYTHING at this point.

This is the equivalent of buying any illicit drug off of the street. Who knows what they laced that shit with. Same goes for the code that they're selling you.

It may not always necessarily be the product you're obtaining, but how you're obtaining it that is the root of your problems.

 

when you vist venezuela you will see that piracy is quite common here, it's a huge business that everybody uses, now if people sold stuff with viruses no one would get cash in their pockets, hence why south american countries sold everything pirated, and some of my topics are due to some screwups i've made but i end fixing myself, and finally some of the PC users is because i am a stupid with windows and usually will somehow fucking windows, sooner or later, trust me i have sthis weird skill to fuck OS within days or to bring bugs that are so rare or no one knows, there is a reason why i switched from vista to 7 and that OS at least has lasted for nearly a year with no crashes (albeit my screw up with the vista install CD and getting boot.mrg erased).

Finally i never had a problem with the cracked stuff, for example i had to crack vista once because my key was stolen via online, the guys from who i buy my stuff are people who before putting the DVD to sell test it first on their machines (afterall the law of the double standard applies and they can go to jail for selling an untested product)

 

One, I will never visit Venezuela.

Two, your posts have enlightened me to understand why government agencies such as the FDA and the ATF exist. As annoying as they are, they allow me to relatively eat food without worry of contamination, and obtain guns that are generally quality controlled and I can shoot them generally without worry of severe injury.

Now, I understand why there's such a big movement to ban piracy. It's rampant in all parts of the world except for the U.S. Sure, we have the common pirate when it comes to music, movies and such, but we certainly don't have pirate vendors in the U.S. I'm glad my government hasn't reached that level of corruption to simply turn a blind eye to illegal vendors.

As for your issues with screwing with stuff, the solution is simple. Don't screw with stuff you don't have extensive knowledge of. If you had extensive knowledge of well, anything you've messed with, you would not have any created topics regarding those issues. The fact that you opened a topic with said issues tells me that you do not possess extensive knowledge of what you're dealing with.

I've discovered the reason that you'll get help on a forum like this is because either the person is genuinely nice and wants to help you, or they want that ego boost that says, "I know more than you do, you have no idea what you're doing, so here I am to help you."

Lucky for you, computers are generally harmless and if you make a mistake, you can just wipe and start over. Not so with a firearm. If you put it back together wrong, or modify one of the internals in such a way that is dangerous, it just may be your last bullet you'll ever fire.

Three, people can make WAY more money by simply putting a nifty little piece of code in their cracked software to steal your information, impersonate you online and take everything you have. People generally don't accuse these things right off of the bat when their identity gets stolen. It's the last thing they would discuss with their bank or insurance agent.
