Hi, I've got a question. I just bought my computer, thus
I am a lamer😉), so I wanna ask you for some information
about Internet downloads. I just found a site, where I
can download Splinter Cell for free, but I don't know if
this is legal. I'm doing this just for myself ( I'm not
gonna sell it to anyone😉) I don't know who to ask, if
you are an EXPERT ONLY please answer my post. Thank you.
Bye-bye!😉

Hi Oliver,

You can find Free TRIAL or DEMO versions of games from
reputable sites such as fileplanet.com, microsoft.com/games,
or downloads.com. Full free versions are in 99.99% of cases
illegal, and might have Trojans and spyware built into them.

So, you mean they can catch me? Like, by my IP, or
something?

Hi Oliver,

Trojans can allow hackers to use your computer to
attack others on the internet. Your IP is the least of
your concerns since they can get right onto your PC.

Use trial versions of the games if you're on a budget.
