Safety of Torrenting

Name: Anonymous 2007-07-06 21:04 ID:Cq+9d6Mo

Are there any safety tips for safe torrenting? Is there such a thing as virus-free torrenting?

A virus cannot be included "on top of" an iso (Unless it ends in an extension Windows recognizes as executable and you're stupid enough to execute it).  It may be included "in" the iso.  Get 7-zip and extract the iso.  Run the extracted contents through a virus scan.

If you are really paranoid about the contents of the iso being corrupted/infected:
 - buy the game
 - Or, buy the game
 - You could buy the game
 - Get VMWare/virtual PC/QEMU, set it up properly, and run the game in a VM.  If the VM survives, you should be okay.
 - Image your HD prior to running it and restore image if shit fucks up
 - Did I mention you could buy the game
 - You could also steal it from Wal-Mart
 - You could also buy it using a stolen credit card or money you've stolen elsewhere.
 - Buy it from Wal-Mart, take note of how package is sealed, take disc+key, reseal package in method that will fool stupid Wal-Mart employees, get your money back.
 - Or just have a black person return it.  Usually they can get anything they want returned.
 - Try pawning stuff you don't need for money.  Like your computer.
 - Other ways to get money: sperm donor, prostiution, selling drugs, getting a job, donate blood, extortion, blackmail.
 - Install it on a friend's computer and see if his shit fucks up.  He's getting a free game, use that to distract him from possible virus
 - If you go to school, install it on one of their computers.  After testing, DBAN the drive.  (DUR DIS COMPUTAR NO WORKIE POPERLY)
 - Substitute "work" for school in previous statement, rinse, repeat.
 - Finally, the sure thing for safety and security is to buy the game.
