Depends what you mean. If you mean to stop people decompiling your software
then Dotfuscator is good:
http://www.preemptive.com/products/dotfuscator/

Otherwise if you're referring to stopping people from copying the CD your
software goes on then you'd have to look at something like Safedisc
protection from Macrovision:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group...obfuscator&qt_g=1&searchnow=Search+this+group

or other words about that, it is as well very much discussed in this
newsgroup
http://groups-beta.google.com/group...obfuscator&qt_g=1&searchnow=Search+this+group

I hope this helps?
