I think we are talking about several programs here at once. So let me summarize:

For as much as I know, Pocket Mechanic did have a hard-reset routine for stolen serials for versions before 1.51. Ever since, Anton has removed the code.

Regarding Resco Viewer 5.30, I cannot commend. Resco makes some of the finest apps for Pocket PCs, and I haven't read anything bad about them. Since it was Tad who revealed the malicious code in PM, I rely on his observations when he says that there is no harmful code present in Resco Viewer. Btw, V5.31 has been released; so in case your friend's device was really hard-resetted due to some - perhaps faulty - code in 5.30, ask him to check 5.31.

I guess the moral of this discussion is that it pays to stay legit!
