Free Minipet Keygen. Ya right. Beware
I dont know how long this has been going but i was in LA talking about droks running, and theres someone who was spamming about a mini pet keygen URL.
After checking it out, it leads to an executable file sitting in rapidshare.
Use your common sense people. Its probably a keylogger. minipet.exe my ass.....
Watch your backs.

Exactly, people need to stick to the warnings.
But I'd like to reiterate what was already said, if your stupid enough to risk your account over a mini-pet scam, you probably don't value your account as much as you thought.

As was said. If people are stupid enough to download an .exe file instead of getting a numeric code (especially after all the third party *executables* warnings seen around here) they should get what's coming to them.

The scam kinda plays off the notion (and certainly an understandable one) that a person can magically "create" a code to add to their account to unlock goodies. I might fall for something like that, if the person saying it was articulate and used punctuation. However, as experience has shown, people selling gold (and other nefarious characters) have shown themselves to be pretty basic in their command and use of the english language. Last thing to remember is as follows: In life, NOTHING is ever free. Period.

trojans like that generally don't trigger antivirus programs, at least from my experience.

I'm one of those people who is terminally curious. I would never consider USING the program in game, but I'm so desperately curious to know what it's actually going to do to my computer... *sigh* No downloading for me, but I can't lie and say I don't really, REALLY want to know.

Here's what it does: It will install a stealth keylogger. It will e-mail anything you type to a certain address. This includes not only your Guild Wars account info, but anything you type, at any time. It will also probably install something that hunts for personal information on your computer. Credit card info, mailing addresses, bank account info, etc. Oh, and it will give you a bunk key. Never trust anything that you don't get from a legitimate source. Hell, I rarely even trust things I get from a legitimate source.
Please remember, this is the internet. There are no honest people, and they are all out to get you.

I saw that same website advertised about two weeks ago in HA regular districts.
Yeah, either someone has creatively found out a way to get mini pet keys (not likely) or a program to steal account info (most definitely).
If this did work legitimately, I think it is likely to guess that Anet would have said something by now/we would see the market flooded with high end mini pets that "Everyone" seems to have.

Just report people offering those kinds of third party software.
It's always against EULA to 'sell' and use those.
Pamelf,
If you have a (commercial) virus scanner, check the supplier.
Most of them have a point where you can submit malware/trojans and the like.
You can submit the link to the executable, no need to download it yourself.
Most of them will add a signature in their anti-virus database, protecting their customers.
When you report, you'll get responce back on the outcome (at least, that's my experience). Then you'll know what it does.
