I didn't see my name on that license so I probably shouldn't download it and insert it into the program, right?

There are scams and cracks all over youtube and torrents. It's best to stay away from these type of things.

High chance of malware infection if you take part in things like this.

Absolutely looking for trouble there.
I also don't get into U-Tube crap.

I wasn't looking for this.  I was watching something else on U-Tube and this popped up.

Why on earth does youtube allow these sort of videos where software cracks are freely available.Do they not have some sort of regulations on there or is it purely just a no-holds barred free for all irrespective of content. ::)

The majority of the content on YouTube blatantly violates copyrights, and they get away with it because the owners don't have time to track down all of the illegally posted videos.  So yeah, YouTube is pretty much no-holds-barred.

Never post links to crack software, you are not only condoning it by publishing it, but could also be putting others at risk.

Think before you post anything like this as you have no control over who downloads or uses it.

These files should be sent to avast not published in an open forum (thankfully it was removed whilst compiling this post).

Sorry.  I definitely wasn't condoning it.
