whtas poweriso , whats iso files ?? in the first place
 
... I just explained it. Besides, I compared the CD Drive on my laptop to the image you've shown and honestly? Doesn't check out. Of course, the first clue is the E:\ instead of the D:\ which I thought may have been another CD Drive, but the name of the drive itself, BD-ROM drive. Now it should be something along the lines of "DVD RW Drive".

Finally, there is a .DS_Store file there which is for Macs only and, of course, you're running Windows 7.

Come clean, man, you've been found out.

That's what I thought. But there are different programs like Daemon tools. And some are usefull for other objectives.

Looking at his Browser history would yeild better results but he can just delete the history.
So really no way of knowing if he pirated beside the fact he's the first person to rip up a receipt before even making sure the product works.

Hence why it is on the E drive of the machine and not the default D drive for disks.

A virtual CD/DVD drive will be the next letter along.

A & B Drives are floppy drives, C is the hard drive, D for Disks and E, F, G for what ever after that.
 
Last time i saw a game title ending with RU was on a russian site offering blatantly illegal downloads. Not that i'm a cynic. This is why I've never pirated anything or downloaded anything free. It just aint worth the risk
 
May I point out that his Drive is a Blu-ray drive. hence the "BD-Rom" thing. And the "d:\" is rather silly, Since I have a D and F drive.

Just saying.

Not true this mate. I don't believe him at all and he's defo downloaded this but on my laptop i've got 2x 250GB hard drives, the (C: )Drive and (D: )Drive, then its Recovery on my (E: )Drive and then the DVD RW (F: )Drive
 
Then why would it have a Mac file there [.DS_Store] and why would it have the thidparty_russian folder? It doesn't add up.

Indeed this is the case with newer machines, but the majority of machines pre-Vista Service Pack 1 tended to work that way.
 
I see a couple options

1. Ban
2. Take a picture of the actual box the game came in with a lil piece of paper with your screenname on it.
3. If failure to produce #2 occurs, see #1.
 
the only way to get that virus is a pirated copy of fm2011 off a torrent site,i downloaded fm2010 once from a site it fooked my laptop up
 
i cannot honestly comprehend why anybody would download a pirated copy. Not only does it ruin it for everyone else because it destroys the gaming industry gradually, but also it can potentially totally bollocks up ya pc/laptop. Cannot see the logic
