When Cracked Software Causes Problems: The Story of My Laptop and a Virus

A month ago, I had just finished my third year. I was so excited to have free time to focus on studying what I thought was going to be my major. However, my laptop was affected by a virus — a very stubborn one. Literally, my laptop was checked by four engineers, and the last one was my final hope.
Once I got my laptop back and turned on the internet, the virus came back. I was feeling really down for two days. Then, I read about the virus in some documentation. While following the instructions, I found the option to format the system. I thought it was a hopeless step since my PC had already been formatted by the last engineer. However, I tried it, and it worked! Wow, I had been waiting for a month to get it fixed, and formatting solved it!!!
The problem was the Adobe packages — all four engineers kept installing cracked Adobe packages that caused the virus, and they would reinstall them again after each formatting.
