Counterfeit software exposes users to a wide range of security risks.
- More than half the software available for download has been found to contain corrupted code.*
- Nearly all unauthorized activation keys install Trojan horses, spyware, or malware that can hamper system performance, disable firewalls, and allow hackers to launch RPC attacks.*
- Non-genuine copies of Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office system cannot take advantage of all the latest security upgrades.
These risks can lead to damaged hardware, lower productivity, and financial losses for your customers, resulting in less business for you.
