The reality is grim: the vast majority of "patched" copies found on sketchy download sites are compromised. Often these software packages are and locked in archives with a "Read Me" file containing a password or installation instructions. This security obscurity is used to hide the payload from scanners and to prevent automated analysis, increasing the chance that an unsuspecting user will infect their machine.
