Find Product Keys for Windows using Google


Some users simply don’t get it. They are so careless with sensible data that they publish product keys for Windows Operating systems on the Internet. They probably don’t know what they are doing which is not an excuse but a possible explanation for what they are doing. The Belarc Advisor is a free system scanner that generates a detailed profile of installed applications and missing hotfixes and displays the findings on a website.

Some users had the clever idea to post the complete profile into forums to find some help with a problem they encountered. The problem with this is that the profile also contains the Windows product key which is used to validate the operating system. All that needs to be done is to perform a search on Google with the line “Belarc Advisor Current Profile” “key:” which will list many pages that contain such profiles. Some user blacked out the product key will others simply did not know better than to leave everything as it was.

    Just tried this. About half the product keys out there are hacked keys and will not pass Windows WGA test – unless you have a WGA hack.

    The OTHER half – thank you retards!

    As to Adam: Go back to bed, boy. Any adult would know that if you have to stretch the datum to fit your point (i.e. LIE); than maybe, just maybe, you have NO point. What does Microsoft have to do with any of this? Go back to your mac with no software and wide open OS. oR w0u1D yOu uNdErStAnD tHis b3tt3r if i TyPe iN diFfer3nT c00l f0Nts?
