Re: Would you use a Firewall that had a cracked .dll?

I am very reluctatant to do anything but a serial # when it comes to firewalls. Most likley the person who made the crack is playing off your false-confidence and will use your modified firewall for his own purposes.

So again when it comes to firewalls only register by serial #, don't trust anything that modifies exe or dlls.


What do you think?
Why dont you disassemble the cracked and original dll.
This way you can see what they changed.
