And if it is infected, the virus or trojan might not attack immediately. It could be a keylogger that is sending your usernames and passwords to somebody somewhere.

Q: What are the consequences for my actions?
A: Bad karma.
If atonement is what you seek, talk to your spiritual adviser. And donate time and money to worthy charities that help people.
If you want to be a better person, stop using hacked software.
