Hi riskpusher4life,

Keygen/Crack sites are full of Trojans: in fact the majority of purported cracks or keygens are probably malware in disguise.

These sites are also loaded with exploits, so any vulnerability in your browser will lead to a malware infection without you even clicking ‘yes’ on a dialogue or opening a file.

These sites use social engineering to try to get you to ignore virus warnings. In other words, they try to con you into disbelieving any security warnings from anti-virus or anti-spyware programs. Don’t be a sucker: if avast! tells you there’s a virus on the site, there’s a virus!

On top of this, keygens and cracks are illegal.

Panda security products are a different issue. Panda programs contain unencrypted virus signatures which avast! will detect as a real virus. Panda products do not contain viruses. If you really want to download a Panda product, you will have to disable avast! to do so without warnings.

EDIT: As Tech pointed out, this doesn’t apply if you’re talking about downloading a copy of Panda from a warez site, where a file ostensibly a copy of a commercial program may well be a malware file; I was assuming you meant a genuine copy from the Panda website.
