I have been using R2R releases for a long time...but how come some of their keygenerators are detected by my virusscanner as trojan and rootkits and others not? Are it false positives for sure? Do software companies like Native Instruments pay the virusscanner companies to detect cracked software as dangerous when it's not. I need to know the deal. Somebody tell me what's going on
They're rarely flaged, the anti virus doesn't recognise them because they've been added to their virus database but because of the way they are meant to behave (which in it self depends of the type of protection it's facing). They are unrecognized soft that are meant to modify files of your system, edit your registry, etc, all that according to what protection has to be undermined. For an anti virus that's a red flag and typically how a virus, not yet in its database, would behave. So it behaves like it should and quarantine them, but yeah for keygen made by R2R and coming from AZ, it's a false positive.
