Doing a Google search using the following criteria:

"Windows XP Professional" "Belarc Advisor Current Profile" key:

Exposes thousands of XP product keys!

Google Search

EDIT: Wasnt sure where to post this, since is a Windows App I think this area was appropiate.
 
WOW,

Good to know, AM

Thank for the read.

Man the other info is really quite detailed!
 
Very interesting how that works. I wonder how many of those will actually work.
 
Yeah, talk about a security breach. Login names, network info, etc.

But the best part was all those free Photoshop CS keys...

:)

PS Security might be a better location for this thread.
 
And office and frontpage!!!



/gets pen and paper.......
 
Okay, a dumb question... but what is "Belarc Advisor Current Profile"?
 
Belarc is a system information tool, and many people post?? the results online.
 
This is the reason M$ wanted to buy google. I think it's funny to tell the truth. It shows how insecure sites really are.
 
I wonder if 3DMark can post the same info?

It takes the same system specs,no?

well there is anouther way a user can screw them selves over with a great app. its so easy to get keys from best buy or futureshop this way but i never thought people post there own keys on the net.

gotta love the people for this one.
 
As far as XP....

Wouldn't the hardware be so different that activation would fail so you would have to call Microsoft?

Something that someone with a stolen key is not likely to do.
 
All you would really need is the M8J3M-QRKTX-HT48F-R8CDV-XXXX key to make this work, and the liceanse it over the phone with a new subscription.

Contrary to popular belief also MS collects info on user, location and key when you submit a error if it pertains to IE. It is the same one used by XP or any OS. IE key = to OS key.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
