No need for warez anymore, yay!-scancode
Why warez?
IcoFX or Greenfish Icon Editor Pro are good enough for creating icons. If someone has bigger needs than he can use Inkscape for most of the time (one of mentioned two only for final touch).
Personally, I was using Axialis few years ago (for a month) and got bad impression of bloated software. It might be good software but for me it is making to much mess in OS. I prefer smaller, free and portable software in many places.

Why warez? That drag'n'drop icon creator can't be beaten. I'm not an icon artist, and never will be.
I tried almost every icon editor under the sun, and I always ended up returning to Axialis.
Also, it CAN be installed without MSVS

Requires a bit of mindwork tho.
