Warez is software that has been cracked. If you own a pirated version of any commercial software, MS Windows for instance, it is considered to be Warez.

Hi there,

Warez is cracked or illegally altered software, usually packed with virus' as well. Stay away from warez sites.

"Warez" refers primarily to copyrighted material traded in violation of copyright law. The term generally refers to illegal releases by organized groups, as opposed to peer-to-peer file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using a Darknet. It usually does not refer to commercial for-profit software counterfeiting. This term was initially coined by members of the various computer underground circles, but has since become commonplace among Internet users and the media. The term "piracy" is used in this article to refer to "unauthorized use of intellectual property". Contd. here

Warez = Illegal

Pronounced wayrz or wayrss. Commercial software that has been pirated and made available to the public via an electronic Bulletin Board System (BBS) or the Internet. Typically, the pirate has figured out a way to de-activate the copy-protection or registration scheme used by the software. Note that the use and distribution of warez software is illegal. In contrast, shareware and freeware may be freely copied and distributed.

I am a supporter of warez. Not all mind You, but most.
As for viruses inside those files. That is very rarely done by crackers. Usually it happends down the line. Most of the time when an anti-virus is saying that it is a virus is because that's what they have classified keygen and cracks. That's another way to fight against "piracy".

The reality is that it is illegal, but the truth is different. Most of the software outthere are just like any car copied from someone else then edited slightly and that's all there is to it. If any company should have the copyright to all of the windows based and/or compatible software it's the Xerox. Since they are the ones who have originally designed the window shell
