That defo looks like a virus of sometype... there shouldnt be any .pf files.. there should only be a 180 odd K exe that is the keygen, and then the zip/rar with the crack fix.. or might need to obtain that in a different torrent...
where are these torrents coming from?
maybe if you post links here, those of us that have it already can see if it "looks" clean, to save all the issues? (just a thought)
It was the first Razor torrent to come off PirateBay. I've lost which one it is by now, but it was a split one. Unraring the Sims3Setup.exe revealed a codec.exe file. I'd been paying attention to that issue for Reloaded, but didn't even think to look for it on the Razor one. Anti-virus is beating it into submission now, and cleaned file will be used shortly to install the game.
Note, this was NOT the crack fix. This was the full-game download.
This is the link you posted. I bookmarked it, but then decided to use rapid share links.
Sigmund:
I got my Razor version from TPB and have scanned it for viruses, but it's repeatedly come up clean. It's not the same one that Zazazu posted, however. I'll see if I can find a link.
ETA: Alright, this is the one I downloaded without any messages popping up from my antivirus yet. Will probably run a full system scan tonight just to make sure, though.

Thanks Witch!
Someone on GOS reported that they got a Trojan from one of the Razor ones on Mininova. Probably the one I am downloading right now. They Said that Avast didn't report it at all. I'll try scanning with Malwarebytes for curiosities sake when I get it, and then open it up anyway. WinRar will open the executable? Or are you guys using a different rar extraction program?
Zazazu:
I used WinRar a bit ago to confirm that it was there, yes. McAfee did not show the virus on scan of the downloaded torrent or .iso (I always check). Did show it on my computer just now, though, through a McAfee scan, and all add times are 5/26 at 10:50, which is when I first tried to install. I'm clean now. Tried to install with the ripped real file inside the fake-o file, and system said it was a damaged file. The other unrar'ed torrent is almost done now.
teels:
I downloaded the Razor version (from seedgames) , and followed intructions I gathered from this thread. The program started up and loaded, but when it got to the neighborhood window, it said EA didn't recognize the disk as valid (something along those lines).
Can anyone tell me what to do to fix that?
