I am a bit surprised to see this take given how many ppl here are tech savy

Cracked software is like one of the number one ways to get viruses.

Requires admin access, turning off your anti virus, getting it from usually an illegal source with little to no oversight, downloading from someone who just stole software...

That's not a take lol, just a fact.
