This information is based on the Software & Information Industry Association Report for 2007 and not overall statistics. 2007 Software Titles Most Frequently Pirated By Companies QUOTE
1. Symantec Norton Anti-Virus
2. Adobe Acrobat
3. Symantec PC Anywhere
4. Adobe PhotoShop
5. Autodesk AutoCAD
6. Adobe DreamWeaver
7. Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator
8. Roxio Toast Titanium
9. Ipswitch WS_FTP
10. Nero Ultra Edition
2007 Software Titles Most Frequently Pirated on the Internet QUOTE
1. McAfee VirusScan
2. Symantec Norton Anti-Virus
3. McAfee Internet Security Suite
4. Intuit TurboTax
5. Adobe Photoshop
6. Adobe Acrobat
7. Intuit Quicken Home and Business
8. Symantec Norton pcAnywhere
9. Symantec Norton Ghost
I will say this though at the Corporate Level that I am a bit disappointed that the Adobe products are not top 3, and the same at the Internet Level as well. Of course I am really surprised at the fact that Symantec is covering most of the top 10 in both lists, but of course what is really shocking that their is not one Microsoft product even though Microsoft products are the most pirated software across the world. Last month they netted $900 million dollars worth of pirated software across the world and so I think their report is lacking even though these are members of the SIIA and not overall.

I would say the results aren't completely accurate as well, microsoft products would definitly be on the list if not the top. I'm also surprised not to see any games.

no, onec people install their operating system, that's it... they are a lot more likely to 'accidentally' delete their copy of adobe photoshop or something. I am also surprised that there ain't any games on that list. but ain't abode acrobat free?

I am very surprised to see Adobe Acrobot on the list as it is FREE. And no MS products - that's shocking.

I'm surprised to see McAfee and Norton on there cause... well, they suck compared to free stuff out there (in my opinion). I'm confused as to why people would bother to pirate software that has better free alternatives. I'm actually not too surprised that there are no games on there. Gamers are still a bit of a niche market, even if there are a lot of us.

Well if it helps I went to the SIIA website and looked through the companies that have joined this list and it would seem Microsoft is not part of this group, and one would think that Microsoft has their own anti-piracy division just because of how widespread they are. As for acrobat, I believe that is the program that is used to make PDF files and not the reader itself. Since making PDF's is a proficient way to make online reports instead of spending hours creating a website for it and stuff. As for the companies that actively participate in the the Anti-Piracy program I think the 10 top lists would make more sense: QUOTE * ActivePDF, Inc.
* Adobe
* Aladdin
* AP Digital
* Apple
* Attest
* Autodesk
* Borland
* Business Objects
* Citrix
* Corel
* Dow Jones & Company
* Encyclopedia Britannica
* Filemaker
* Intuit
* Ipswitch
* J.J. Keller & Associates
* Kaplan, Inc.
* Lieberman Software
* Macrovision
* McAfee
* The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc.
* The Neilson Company
* Nero
* Novell
* Oracle
* Quark
* Reed Elsevier Inc.
* Riverdeep Learning
* Sonic Solutions
* Symantec
* United Press International As for game makers I say that is a tough call because of the fact that most of them don't use the CD Key format such as BIOWARE does with Neverwinter Nights.

The reason most microsoft products are not on the list has to do with how often they are updated. To be honest, people priate software a lot when it first comes out and very little afterwards. Also, antivirus software is pirated a lot because it is what people think of right away when they get a computer. However, no one does enough research to realize there are plenty of really good virus programs that are free like Avast.

Hehe, i'd have to say, if I were to pirate a piece of software, I certaintly wouldn't make it an AV program as the results could be devistating.

Question: Is this supposed to reflect most pirated software by download, or by counterfit copy? Or is it just overall? Regardless, I knew Photoshop and Dreamweaver would be on such a list, but I'm also surprised to see that they didn't land the top spots. MS products probably should be on there as well, but if this reflects software pirated by online download, then I can see how they're not up there (they're mostly gotten through bootleg CD's as far as I understand). However, I was also under the impression that Adobe Acrobat was free. That is, unless it has some function other than simply reading and creating PDF's. Does it?

Most people I know have a pirated version of Adobe Photoshop, so I am surprised about that one. It is a very much downloaded program - and that is not weird because it is great. A full version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 costs $1435 (Adobe Store Norway), and that is pretty much.

The list probably mean adobe acrobat professional, which isn't free. I can understand all the adobe products up there, but I don't understand why there are anti-viruses higher up on the list. What are the anti-viruses for? Protecting you from that keygen that you opened up to get a key for that "legal" version of photoshop you installed? Is there a list of the most downloaded free programs on the web?

Adobe Acrobat Reader is free whereas Adobe Acrobat, the software that is used for creating PDF documents is a Commercial software. I don't think that all corporates are using pirated softwares. Usually the businesses that use pirated softwares are the new Startups and medium sized non-IT companies.

Well, no Microsoft's? I'm surprised. Take a look at Microsoft's most popular software : their OS and office sollution and not at top 10? That report is amazing. Where do you get the source?

Lightweight Free Anti Virus Software?

considerably if you open IE before connecting to any service. If you open up another page before the
homepage loads, you'll more than likely get a "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error". Due to the way
