I always thought it was running anti-"anti-piracy" measures before launching the game. I suppose it could be malware too, which seems like what the meme is getting at.
I fucking did it was tenish year ago. Ran it in a vbox for the fun of it. Oddly it was the best windows experience I ever had. Can't say how much malware was in it though.
I used pirated versions of XP for a decade. Nothing bad ever came of it. There were a lot of crackers back then that just did it for the challenge, and shared it because they wanted to.
My first copy of Winxp was stolen from windows a week before release, I found out when I saw a picture of someone holding a burnt disc with windows xp on it outside of Microsoft and it had my serial key on it.
That's awesome. I eventually got my hands on an enterprise CD key that was given out to over 1000 students at a university and used that instead of the keygens for tortented ISOs.
hard power down like Barry Allen; rips phone cable out of wall (and rj45 in half); runs to router and rips entire power strip out of wall; safe mode with no idea if this helps; blindly searches for very new or old .bat files; tries to figure out how to search entire registry by recent; sob; play eu1 or whatever it was 30 yrs ago
It's just setting up a keylogger so it can help you when you suck at your new pirated game :)
Wait... What's the truth.....
But I don't want a super Trojan : -(
Is there a way to remove it or stop it from happening?
Yes
This answers nothing
Disables malware scanning in windows (I assume)
Downloads
supertrojan.exefrom a Russian websiteExecutes the file
Runs the game
Closes the command prompt.
Opens the portal to the underworld, to ensure that the command prompt closes correctly.
Not saying you should understand it, but it does answer it if you understand it
Probably mining for bitcoin
Free game providers can have a little bitcoin, as a treat

Here's one. I'd like the aforementioned treat, please!
You may use my GPU anytime 😊
Do you really want to know the truth or do you want to play your new game \o/

Ah yes, Windows...
Not only for viruses, I saw legitimate software creating those console windows to run.
Good spyware doesnt show those either, they're not a sign of malware but of sloppy coding.
Not always. Having spent significant time of the entire projects to hide console and powershell windows, I think Windows is just crap.
Yes, there was a good cli-tool for this, until it didn't work anymore.
A tool for this...
Running a program by another program without interrupting user should be a basic feature of an OS!
You would probably love Oberon.
I'm pretty sure some drivers do that
My work PC does it on boot. Opens and then closes like 8 command windows.
Well that probably is malware but installed by your company
Just look into journal and logs what processes were started by a terminal window...
Oh... Right.
Startup scripts most likely. A sign of a bunch of legacy tech in your environment.
Even if I am pretty sure I'm not getting a virus, I'm always nervous when that happens regardless of the program on my desktop.
The crack uses dll-injection, needs to be applied each game launch.
Dingers!
I once found a fully cracked version of Window XP on Pirate Bay....
I fucking did it was tenish year ago. Ran it in a vbox for the fun of it. Oddly it was the best windows experience I ever had. Can't say how much malware was in it though.
And yes I forgot an s so fucking sue me champ

Edit: here's the picture.
I don't even have to open the image to know it's FCKGW!
13 year old me loved that my windows key had fuck in it. I used to know that entire key off by heart.
That's awesome. I eventually got my hands on an enterprise CD key that was given out to over 1000 students at a university and used that instead of the keygens for tortented ISOs.
My win10 licences are all from pirated Win7 that was grandfathered in when upgrading lol
Same here actually. Now it's totally free spyware/adware, so those days are gone. I just use Linux now.
