Crack Norton Anti Virus 2008 and McAfee Virus Scan Plus?
Norton Anti virus has been my preferred security software for 10 year, McAfee on the other hand used to be my number one choice for its reliability and solid engine. The reason for the switch was probably because of the overall performance of Norton, and the comprehensive, automated protection and PC tune-up technologies that comes bundle in as Norton Systemworks.
Security software are one of the most profitable product in the computer market, every PC comes bundled with it, be it pirated or legal with 3 months trial. Back then, finding the serial numbers for Norton anti-virus software was pretty much straight forward, phone activation code and registration code do not exist, thus eliminating the trouble of installation.
Today, USD30 for a piece of software doesn’t seem to be that expensive compare to what we had to pay for a decade ago, for those that can afford the original software, please purchase instead of cracking it.
What if you can not afford the USD30 software? What if you are from a third world and USD30 due to the currency exchange rate, a single license software could potentially cost you a month’s pay? My advice is go for alternative Anti-Virus software, they’re not feature rich like Norton or McAfee, but they have the capability to perform what Norton or McAfee does, another plus point for these anti-virus is the lack of market penetration. Yes, the lack of market shared by these smaller free alternative anti-virus rendered it almost invisible under the radar of spammers, hackers, virus writer and many more, just like a mac. Invisibility means the chances of this alternate anti-virus software being attacked by these viruses are almost zero.

However, this recovery tool is no perfect, like all Microsoft product, the detect and repair tool is a fairly basic engine, not powerful enough in case of a critical error.

Method 3. Recover Microsoft Office Files from Temporary File
Another method is to locate the temporary file of the original file, usually the file hidden and stored on the same folder as the original. Enable ‘view all files’ in the “tools” -> “Folder Options” -> “View”. Enable View hidden files and locate the hidden Microsoft Office file.
This temporary file will have a few different letters after the tilde (or squiggly line “ ~”) . These are good ones to look for to find some lost info:
- A word document file will look like ~wrdxxxx.tmp
- A temp document file will look like ~wrfxxxx.tmp
- An auto recovery file will look like ~wraxxxx.tmp
Copy the file to a designated folder and rename the file extension from .tmp to .doc
