Early pirating was like playing the lottery.

Will I get the good version of a song or a weird remix?

Will the media play or be some unrecognized format?

What's making my pc run so slow?

I remember running the 2 command line McAfee scan and clean commands. And it would tell you scanning for 15 known viruses or something lol. Then it became hundreds and eventually just changed into the tsr apps running in the background all the time.

Generally just booting from a clean disk with clean on it would make you the PC repair god.
