So got a call from a friend who downloaded Brothers in arms and then looked for a crack. Found it, scanned it with the virus software and it was clean.

but no after he ran it his computer gave serious problems, and his anti virus software went mad saying loads of files contained viruses.

Yeah...I don't think it's really a surprise for anyone that cracks contain viruses sometimes, or that many keygens and such are falsely recognized as viruses by many av-programs. Unfortunately news travel fast in teh internetz and the bad files quickly get filtered out, so it's not really enough to deter pirates.
