The discussion for what is the best AV/antispyware program(s) will be saved for another time, but I’ll give you my quick opinion: Stay away from Norton, McAfee, and Panda! Bloated messes are what they are. This is paranoid AV programs trying to deter you from using such tools. Keep in mind that some antivirus programs detect cracks/patches/keygens as a “trojan.hacktool” or something similar. It’s also very important to use an up-to-date and competent antivirus program. Read the NFO files to be sure you know which files you actually need. ![]() =) Many sites that allow you to freely/easily download the various fixes also include trojans or spyware bundled into the ZIP/RAR file that you download (or even as a popup before you’re able to download it - ALWAYS say no to these find the fix somewhere else if you have to, or use a different browser). That’s a sure-fire way to get yourself into trouble. That means don’t just double-click on everything you download hoping it will do what you want. The last point I’d like to make - DON’T BE CLICK HAPPY. Pop over to Google ( ) and do a search for it. There are thousands of download locations, so I won’t bother to list any here. =D So where do you get an NFO viewer? Simple - GOOGLE IT! By far the best one out there is the “DAMN NFO Viewer”. It makes it easier to read and look pretty. However, they were designed to be viewed with an NFO viewer. NFO and DIZ files are simple text files, so you could simply view them in Notepad (or any other simple text editor) and get the info you needed. Though handy to have an informative, they rarely need to be used in the process of “fixing” a software application. You may also see DIZ files - these usually just contain file version information. It’s VERY important to read any NFO files that come along with the fix/release. For example, if you have a Patch and an NFO file, the NFO may tell you how to properly use the patch, as well as provide information on the program itself. ![]() This is an information file that tells information about the release. Frequently the fixes are provided along with an NFO. Now that you have a better idea of what you have to work with, allow me to touch on a few points before diving right in how to use the above. Cracks? Keygens? NFO? Huh? Before we continue… Many newcomers (n00bs) get confused about some things the veterans take for granted. How to use “warez” releases - what do the files do and mean? Don’t worry, you’re not alone with such questions.
