"Asus were very unwilling to help and even went as far as trying to tell me that I am at fault for using pirated software. Can you believe the nerve of that guy I spoke to?

Winrar has acknowledged to me that it was indeed an illegal keygen for Winrar and I have passed on all information and data to them. They were so appreciative of my contacting them with this issue that they gave me a lifetime Winrar keyfile.

UPDATE: I contacted Bing Lee who I bought the Asus Notebook from, and they were horrified to learn about this. Asus admitted to them that there was a "issue" with illegal software on their Vista DVD. Bing Lee was so understanding and empathic of my situation and my uncomfortability in dealing with Asus anymore due to the abusive conversation I had with one of the Asus staff members, that Bing Lee offered me a full refund. I was invited with VIP treatment into their store to pick out a brand new latest notebook. Bing Lee was wonderful and so helpful. I was impressed with how they looked after me."]]>Sep 19th 2008 5:26AM
