Hi to all,
Stumbled upon PE_Compressor, seems to be an improved
compressor to help fighting piracy. Does anyone know more
about this PE_Compressor ? This one certainly smells good.
Here is the website :

An additional problem is that all the AntiVirus industry is a fraud, so they will not stop real viruses but will prompt telling the user that your software is a trojan. they need to "show" the user that they are doing something...
Using a compressor is sinonimous to being marked with false positives 6 or more times per year. Yes, no matter that you send emails to the AV company and that they correct the error, a few months later they will prompt again about the same executable (i mean the same, not a new one with changes, but the same one).
So we have to live maining as "low noise" possible thast can make AV shit mark your executables as something evil for some days from time to time.

It is not possible to truly protect an application if it is intended to run on a users own hardware!
Why?
Because the app need to be able to decrypt/check itself, which means the key or code need to be either in the app or on the machine.
It's like handing someone a locked box but the key is painted the same color as the box and glued under the box, it makes no sense
