Security Dangers of Downloading Pirated Games & Videos From the Internet

Risks of Downloading Pirated Videos and Games From The Internet

We all have played videos games at some point of our lives, from mobile games to tv games and other high end products like playstation and xbox, very few people actually buy original copies of video games in india and they mostly download games from any free download websites which provide illegal copies.

By downloading these illegal cracked and pirated games, you are taking risk. Yes, real risk which may lead to crashing of your computer or getting infected with viruses and spywares. In 2013 AVG found that 90% of pirated games are infected with malwares and let me tell you 90% is a huge number.

There are so many other things involved with pirated stuff on the internet and none of them is good for you in long term or to your privacy. Cyber criminals and other dark minded people intentionally crack these games and infect them with spywares and other malwares for their benefits so that they ca use your data and computer for their work, botnet is a perfect example of this which is basically using someone's computer for attacking and getting your work done. They use your computer as a zombie or even worse they take your computer's processing power for illegal bitcoin mining.

When you download pirated video games or even freeware, you get unnecessary toolbars and other unwanted software bundled which consume you resources and take up that free ram on your computer which leads to unstable computer and frequent software crashes.

Older games with low level protection for piracy can be cracked but new games like PUBG cannot be cracked easily as its an online game and you cannot play it with a illegal copy. If you try to crack these games then there are huge chances that the game company will ban you and put you in legal trouble.

Last but not the least, you game actually might not work completely or partially. I had very bad experiences with pirated games as they tend to crash on particular mission which is very bad and heartbreaking. So I recommend you to buy an original copy of a game and have fun. You can get cheap games from steam and they work flawless without any problem.
