A "cracked" copy of software is an illegal copy. Regard the numbers and letters which one often has to type in when installing software as a "Code". Microsoft often refer to it as a "CD Key". People find ways of circumventing the necessity to enter this Code, hence they are considered to have "cracked" the Code. And of course that copy of the software circulated to all and sundry is referred to as a "cracked copy".

I have read Tristrams and am not sure what a Cracked list is? Or was it a Crack list! No surely. I do know some people have problems with some downloads or Service Packs, this was not a Service=20 pack This was an Update but only given after a criss-cross It was=20 nothing either to do with Anti-virus updates such as AVG which are almost daily events.
