why does it get flagged as ransomware? #36
Comments
maybe the community score is so low bc the keys don't work and people are mad? |
Can you send the link to the VirusTotal result? |
yeah here:https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/875bcac02aaad8547c48a2d38436ed62607a317c7a9407384550fe0606268ad4 |
that's a hater right there lol, but it's still intresting why more then half of antiviruses flag it as "ransomware", ik it would get flagged for something but i wasn't expecting ransomware 💀 , maybe bc of the name (key gen in it's name) but surely the name can't be enough. |
I think the security vendors think that every key/license key generator
wants to steal your OS.

i know false positives exist, but why ransomware? did all the antivirus companies came together and look at this program and say "hmm a windows xp key generator, that can't be good, hmm well we need to flag it as something malicious, ehh we'll just flag it as ransomware for no reason" LIKE WTF i ran it in a sandbox and it gave a threat score of 1/10.
so either microsoft is bribing these antivirus companies to block this app bc they don't like it, or are they actually dumb.
i just don't understand, the program in no way behaves like ransomware, also why tf is the community vote so low??
