cerdan join:2008-01-02	C:\Windows\AutoKMS.exe a real threat? Malwarebytes found the file and said it's a threat. Ran the file through Jotti's and 7 out of 19 scanners said it's a threat. Any thoughts? Thanks!

autokms @arcor-ip.net	reply to cerdan This is an Office activation crack. All of the viruses report it as a keygen - it's "antipiracy" detection, not malware detection. That's AVs doing the dirty work for Microsoft - that's not security protection. That's why it's detected as a hacktool/keygen and not as a malware (from the horse's mouth).
