Windows 10: Is ProduKey a virus..?

Hello, I need to ask one thing while I'm here. Is this: " https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html " a virus? I tested it on VirusTotal, and it detected 12/61 AV detected it as a virus. Still not sure though. Please help.

:)

 

Produkey issue.

almost certainly a false positive, the file is downloaded from nirsoft and extracted via script on first run, so I guess you could try manually d/l from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/produkey-x64.zip and see if it gets flagged on extraction. Is fine in both cases on my system

 

Produkey

I'm afraid you have a flawed detector, my friend
I downloaded the portable app to Win10-10049 yesterday and it downloaded nicely and worked perfectly without a peep from anything anywhere*Biggrin
A few moments ago I downloaded the standard app to Win8.1 (where it's already installed and works perfectly) and installed it again, without a peep, PUP, or pause and once again it works perfectly.
It has to be installed by administrator and Produkey displays Win8.1, IE and Wordviewer keys.
I have used those utilities for many years and not ashamed to say that I have more faith in Nirsoft and Sysinternals than I do in Virustotal *chuckle
YMMV

EDIT:
I just installed WSCC on Win10-10049, 64bit version and used a different approach to obtaining the app
Using Bing I searched wscc, all lower case, and it delivered a list of colleges, businesses and a link for KLS-Software.
Downloaded WSCC and installed all 264 utilities it offers. No peep, PUP nor pause again and when running Produkey it shows a key for Internet Explorer and Win10TP. Nicely done as usual *chuckle
