> risk of having installed some possible malware

Are you talking about the Creative Cloud drm or the crack?

Both probably ;-).

Most likely just the crack...sometimes they come with additional crap and people (who are none the wiser) click on it and get something bad installed.

You don't need a crack for CC, just to block Adobe's activation servers in your hosts after installing. (AFAIK)

Not anymore, this was valid up to CS5. CS5.5 and later need the amtlib.dll patch on Windows, dunno what's the state of affairs on Macintosh.

That only work for 90 days though once the counter hits 90 you're screwed.

You still code that can either crack the software or act is a server for it.
