DO NOT PIRATE!

Hi John2009,

In some countries it could be three strikes and your Internet connection is out,

@polonus actually… it can be worse than that… I know of a friend who got a letter from paramount pictures saying if he didn’t stop pirating movies he would face a $250,000 fine. Strangely enough he hasn’t stopped yet lol… Though he says that he does it in smaller amounts.

Back to the main point at hand. It doesn’t seem to be a FP at all. Some AV’s will give an alert saying Win32:Keygen [tool] was detected in “file name”, This doesn’t really mean it’s infected just that it’s an unsafe application as it is generating keys for a program you obtained illegally. But I don’t think this is the case as alot of those alerts from virus total indicated a backdoor.

In short, It is most likely infected =)

Why avast! didn’t detect it? Idk… why did only 16/41 detect it :P. One antivirus doesn’t detect everything!
