PURPOSE Pirated and unsafe software can contain malware, violate licensing rules, and create serious security risk. AVOID Do not download cracked software, license bypass tools, unofficial installers, random driver packs, or files from suspicious sharing sites. RISKS Unsafe software can steal passwords, install ransomware, expose data, damage systems, or create legal problems. SAFE ALTERNATIVE Use official sources, approved software catalogs, or trusted free/open-source projects when allowed. WHEN UNSURE Ask support before installing. A free download can become very expensive very quickly.
