I have used bit torrent for years and napster before that plus many others. I always inspect what I download and scan it 2 or 3 ways before using the resultant program.
Just finished downloading Delorme Street Atlas 2009 because m DVD was to scratched to save. I have the license and it works nicely. With your scenario shareware and downloads from CNET are to be avoided as well or are those okay. Bittorrent does not introduce any added risk in itself. The program may be corrupt no matter where you get it.
We each have our own level of comfort and decide for OURSELVES what is acceptable risk.
Completely, not true. It is illegal to distribute software without explicit authorization, regardless whether you have a legit license key or not. Have you ever read the terms of use? Did Microsoft give permission to distribute their software through BitTorrent? The former Digital River sites were licensed by Microsoft to distribute Windows OS.
Code can also be manipulated with embedded Malware, especially root kits such as keylogger/capture software which may not be easily detected by many AV software.
Yu are not bound by terms of use before you use it. After install and you agree then you are bound b terms of use agreement NOT BEFORE you agree.
