Windows Security picks up a Ransomware, false positive? #23

Hello there! So, I was trying to download your keygen when all of a sudden, Windows Security picked up a ransomware, specifically called "Ransom:Win32/Royal!MSR". I tried scanning it on VirusTotal, and it got a lotta detections. This is probably a false positive, but I'm just concerned for my safety. Also, in Virustotal, someone wrote "#malware #trojan", and that sketched me out. image

The problem with VirusTotal's comnmunity feedback is that it makes some user's votes weigh more than others. One user should not have enough votes to turn 54 positive votes to 1 negative.

All keygens are labeled as something scary to deter people from using them.

It'll be Microsoft being all "anti-keygen". It will be a false positive.
