    Due to unfortunate circumstances, the new Windows XP Pro installation my friend helped me build includes a cracked version of Win XP Pro 32 bit that he found from torrents.

    What's the probability that this installation has some kind of hidden virus/rootkit in the installation?

    Should i be worried?

    The file name he found was

    Microsoft.Windows.XP.SP3.Professional.March.2011

    Thanks!

    We do not assist people with cracks. I suggest you get a legit version as torrents are usually infected. :major
