Re: Fake Windows XP activation trojan goes 2.0
Nowadays comp techs in comp shopgs cheat their customer by giving them pirated xp instead of genuine vista. So there is a lot of possibilities of people to fall for that. Offtopic:-hey nucleas core you should open up a new thread naming Tech news by NucleasCore where you can post all your latest news there.
