btw these are all false positives that you get when you scan these files. They show up as clean with my programs. Virus showing up is the result of crappy programs like AVG

Well, as far as i know, cracks and no-cd loaders and other apps like this, are made based on a trojan backdoor code that's harmless to the computer or OS, it just does what it's supposed to do, crack the damn thing.
This being said, its pretty normal to have your antivirus shout like mad that you have a virus.
I simply dont understand why you guys use antivirus software that simply dont do anything. If your ment to catch a cold, you'll catch it anyways, regardless of how many aspirins you take.
The best antivirus is the brains of the computer user. If you dont download porn from suspicious websites, files from public torrent sites or other stuff like that, you should be fine.

For like 2 days lazylaunch v1 and lazylaunch v2 were marked and discovered like Trojan-Dropper by Kaspersky Antivirus(and believe me or not this is one of the best AV solutions out there). But after they were analyzed they were marked as [F]alse Positive. A lot of crappy AV programs, don't "care" to mark things like false positive, once a file is marked as a virus, it stays that way forever. So the only thing to do is to exclude lazylauncher.exe from the detection. If you don't know how to do that - google "How to exclude files from scanning in [insert a crappy AV program name here]"
