Today let's talk about the pirated software. Nowadays, pirated software selling around the public area. The public area is like shopping mall, computer shop, or even night market (normally known as "pasar malam"). Finding a pirated software is very easy to get already and the pricing compared with the original is much more different!
From the research, the top pirated software on the Internet includes anti-virus programs followed by AutoCAD and Adobe Photoshop.

Why are the public likes to buy pirated software instead of using the original? The reason is very common as the pirated software is cheaper! For example like buying a Microsoft Office 2007 software cost us around RM100-RM200, but for the pirated software, it maybe only cost us RM10 only. And then, the people will definitely buy the pirated software? Why spend about 10TIMES of budget to get the SAME software? this is what people think, and it set in my mind previously.
The risk of using pirated software for your pc are includes the possibility of someone hacking into your computer and stealing valuable information, unfortunately, without you even knowing it. This is because pirated software don't have complete file components of genuine copies, and often contain viruses, malicious bugs and spyware. Hence, installing pirated software leaves your computer unstable and defenceless against intruders.
