The question is - why was the AnyDVD executable changed. One reason could be a virus infection (hence the message "run a virus check"). Another could be a hardware problem (but I doubt that the computer would run stable long enough to even boot Windows).
If you modify AnyDVD intentionally - either by using a hex editor, or by using one of the various "cracks" - you will see this message sooner or later.
If you see this message, I would say in 99.99% of the cases you have used a patch to bypass the registration check. And if you posted this in a public message board you have exposed yourself pretty well. |
you can find lots of sales of anydvd/conecd/dvd on
ebay. more than likely there are a number of these purchasers now finding problems as well once they update the software.
as has always been said on this and my regular haunt 'you get what you pay for'
stop being so fecking tight and pay for the programs, they are well worth the few paltry bucks that they cost.
