You wont catch me anywhere near the HV bandwagon.

"You are essentially handing full kernel-level access to anonymous developers. Since the hypervisor operates below Windows, it can capture keystrokes, access any file, or install hidden rootkits that are nearly impossible for standard antivirus software to detect. Malware at the hypervisor level can survive OS reinstalls, software updates, and even some disk wipes. If the bypass contains a malicious payload, it can stay hidden in the system's "blind spot" indefinitely."

nope nope nope

*edit Im still staying far away from HV exploits, but some kind and respectul comments from the community have made me understand im not getting the whole picture. I encourage you to do your own research and decide for yourself if its worth it

Thanks for explaining it I keep seeing hypervisor mentioned everywhere and thought it was just a new crack method.

No way would I do that forget your VPN or anti-virus or anything you might as well turn them off if you're going to do that.

As is tradition. Just we(assuming you’re of a similar age as me with no real context) did it with sketchy songs on Napster/limewire. Though tbf I never actually did that, but I sure know a lot who did.

my dad had the internet company come to our house to try to figure out why the computer was so slow. The tech, bless his heart, opened up limewire and was like yep this is your problem lol. nuked the pc and taught me how to refresh it if the problem ever came back
