why does it get flagged as ransomware? #36

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??

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeee commented 3 months ago

maybe the community score is so low bc the keys don't work and people are mad?

Some people are more equal than others, i guess

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.
