Putting virus infected torrent on website doesn't work, you think you are the first with that idea? The website just remove them. That why anti-piracy organisation and other company aren't able to floud torrent website with fake and virus to discourage pirate, like they can do with program such as Limewire.
DRM doesn't work either, the best way for a PC game to minimize piracy is to offer an experience based around online play. The diminution of sale you get by not selling to people who lack an internet connection is more than offset by the diminution in piracy.
I remember an interesting post by the CEO of Stardock who explained why he didnt use DRM in its game. He simply didn't take pirate into account, they aren't consumer, so putting DRM to affect there behavior serve no purpose. In contrast to putting DRM which purpose is to try to transform the pirate into a consumer to the detrimant of the actual consumers. Certainly not the most mainstream point of view but an interesting one none the less.
