i do some serious checksum checks.. (not using a trap tho).. and i have
never had problems of hearing about a "unreliable" version of my
software. what you tell people is that they MUST download it from site
X,Y and Z in order to be "official".. if you write this on your pages
you wont have that problem :)
ps: a cracker wont release a .prc unless it passes testing with the
crack :)
cheers.
