Chinese-based ring counterfeited over £1 billion of software

A huge piracy ring involving Windows Vista has been smashed in China. The counterfeiting organization has been tracked by the FBI in cahoots with China’s Public Security Bureau, says the BBC .

Members of the syndicate pirated many different Microsoft apps including Windows Vista and Windows XP as well as the last two iterations of Microsoft Office. Microsoft says that information used to help track the pirates down was obtained from its Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) software. Indeed it seems 1,000 fake copies made by the ring were tracked this way. The software had, according to Microsoft, spread so far as 27 countries.

The pirated software seized was worth as much as £250 million, though the ring is thought to be responsible for counterfeiting as much as £1 billion worth of software at factories in the Guangdong area.

A total of 25 people were arrested in the raids.

- VistaLoader and Paradox gone!

The day has come, it is over the happy Vista cracking era, and no it is not Microsoft it is a 3rd party security software.

Several user have reported that ZoneAlarm 7.1 did disable their Vista crack, the news are fresh and we can only speculate what is the reason for it. What we know is that Paradox and Vistaloader did not work anymore after installation of ZA.

ZoneAlram installs an unofficial Vista update during the installation, could that be the reason? Or is it just coincidence?

3 June 07 - Update: How to fix it!

dvdrw1024 Hi There.

I had the same problem. It seems that installing various software involving system drivers removes the OEM activation. Anti-virus and firewall applications are the primary offenders.

After re-installing Vista for many times I found out what is the problem….
It’s a Vista BUG !!!!!!! fixed by the following windows update:

“KB931573 Install this update to resolve an issue where you may be prompted to activate a pre-installed copy of Windows Vista. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.”

Many users of this forum warned not to use this update so I always left it out. It was a big mistake. If you update Vista with this update and then use the activation toolkit it won’t ever deactivate.

Hope I’ve helped
