What should I do if my virus scanner reported a virus/trojan/etc. in a crack?
• If your virus scanner reported the “Win32/Keylogger.HotKeysHook.A” trojan for a trainer, don’t worry about it. Yes, the trainer keeps watching your keypresses but only for good purposes: to be able to react to them by (de)activating a trainer function! • Check the suspicious file with another virus scanner and you will see that no, it does not contain any kind of malware. In general, we recommend that you do NOT use McAfee VirusScan or Norton/Symantec Antivirus because they are known to have too many false positives (and false negatives, too). We recommend you to use virus scanners with different, provedly more reliable technologies: AVG Anti-Virus, Kaspersky Anti-Virus or NOD32 Antivirus. • You may also submit suspicious files to a site like Jotti’s Malware Scan or VirusTotal – since these use multiple scanners (21 with Jotti and 32 for VirusTotal) they should provide a better detection rate than any single scanner.
