Although a crack now exists for ShadowProtect Desktop Edition 3.1, we ask your consideration, that you please avoid using this crack. We base this request upon the following facts:
1) The cracked file (ShadowProtectSvc.exe) is twice the size of the un-cracked/original file. It’s very common for cracked software to include a payload of malware (virus, spyware, key-logger, rootkit, etc). The fact that the cracked ShadowProtectSvc.exe is so much larger than the original is very strong evidence that this crack contains malware. If you use this crack, you are exposing your computer and all other computers on your network to a security risk which could result in the loss and/or theft of any confidential and valuable information.
2) Our tests of this crack show that it has introduced some issues, which, over time, lead to an increasing amount of failures. We are able to determine when someone is using a legitimate version of ShadowProtect, and when they are using a cracked version, and we cannot help or provide support to illegitimate users, so those who use the cracked version are entrusting their critical data to a malignant crack which will eventually fail, at which point there will be no support to recover from the failures.
If you’re thinking of downloading the crack so that you can try out ShadowProtect, we encourage you to instead download the *fully functional* 30 day trial which can be downloaded from the main page at www.storagecraft.com.
