Homer Simpson Posted April 28, 2013 ID:674520 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think that these are false positive, the x86, the x64 and the setup are all detected as PUP.PSWTool.ProductKey, but this tool is not a Keygen, it only recover your own product key.http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html#DownloadLinksprodukey.zipprodukey-x64.zipprodukey_setup.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff miekiemoes Posted April 28, 2013 Staff ID:674530 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi,This isn't a False positive perse, we detect exactly as what it is (PUP.PSWTool.ProductKey). We don't really detect it as malware, but as PUP, which means, potentially unwanted.The main reason for this is, unfortunately, many malware embed these into their files in order to steal productkeys or other info. Many other AV Vendors detect these as well for the same reason.So in this case, when you are aware you have installed this yourself and you scan with mbam, you can ignore the detection (don't check for removal).For someone who isn't aware this is present, it has most probably been installed by malware, so in that case, the user can check the entry for removal.
