    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

    I'm afraid you have a flawed detector, my friendIs ProduKey a virus..? :)
    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 Is ProduKey a virus..? :)
    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

    Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.
