[Anti] Compare the country the PC uses - gigajew - Nov 25, 2018

Here's a simple, but sometimes very effective anti method. It can be used to check whether their computer's country name equals the one you want to target.

So if I only want this to execute on computers in Finland, I would write something like:

Code 
bool isFinland = string.Equals(GetCurrentCountry(),

                                    "Finland",

                                    StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);

            if (!isFinland)

                return -1;

This is based off of region culture, pretty much what ever language is setup on the machine. I would say this isn’t very accurate at all, my computer states that I’m in France when I’m in the United States because of how I have my language setup.
