| 617959 | 2007-12-04 20:06:00 | is there another way of decrypting this file without having the password? it is also a .rar file if that would help also did anyone find the red writing? |

| 617960 | 2007-12-04 20:09:00 | No. Didnt look. Dont intend to. So it does have something to do with pirated software, doesnt it? |

| 617962 | 2007-12-04 20:25:00 | I doubt anyone will help you. If this has something to do with something illegal. |

| 617963 | 2007-12-04 20:59:00 | :groan: This smells of a classic CON! The encrypted file from the internet ? Sounds like its not quite legal, if it is legal then you wouldn't be getting a "readme" file saying go visit a certain site . They want you to go to a site to obtain the "Password" then if you are silly enough to go there - they attempt to infect your PC with spyware or if its a legit email you enter you will get hit with spam . |

| 617965 | 2007-12-04 21:04:00 | also 90% of the time those passworded rar files don't contain what you think they do anyway. it is done to waste you time because you are obviously trying to get something for free. | Cho (12330) | ||
