first off i dont pirate software. a friend asked my advice to a possible threat i told him to upload it to virustotal he gave me the link. he also emailed me the file that i downloaded in a VM i scanned the file with updated Avast,superantispyware and malwarebytes. nothing found also in the VT scan lots of the big names Kaspersky,bitdefender,fseure,M$ say no threat. so i left wondering are the companys saying threat just saying that as its a keygen and adobe maybe paid them to say this to scare ppl. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/0833d82ceade071f5c9ce023d38c991819c5c33a465fc1a2f8081f2b98157b5d/analysis/1474914995/ in my opinion id say its safe.
Would not say it is malware per se, but it is classified as riskware, that means a threat to those that unwillingly got it and are not aware what it does.
More-over as a circumventing crack it might be said it is certainly frowned upon by DMCA and might infringe rights where such rights are upheld.
