1st catch by Nod32

NOD32 works
2 P/C's and almost 1 year.
Actually I know the app' was/is safe but NOD (weekly deep scan c/w BS extra settings) said potentially dangerous win32/pswtool ras.a in a zip file.
However I bought NOD x 2 and it is my 2nd line of defence.
I trust it - file deleted.

 

Lol? It's an internet connection tool that you most probaby downloaded on your own. It's not like you just discovered most dangerous virus there is...

 

Really?
I did say that I knew what it was (I did download it)

I have never used it and am now puzzled by the internet connectiion bit.

 

Nevermind, confused with something else because of word RAS...
It's still just an riskware. MagicalJellyBean is a Windows CD key reader, i've used it few times...

 

I am one of those people whose WinXP was shown by MS WGA to be invalid!
I bought the PC from a large (UK) supplier. 2 other people I know have PC's from large international dealers and have the same problem.
I thought I would find the installed key and compare it with the sticker on my PC case.
I got rid of WGA notification.
My PC supplier says it is a MS problem.

 

and if you wish and do insist , you can contact Microsoft to fix the problem I am sure they can do something for you so you benefit from the fact you are legal customer (sorry if off-topic)

 

For both Windows and Office products...good little tool with many fully legitimate purposes...I use it a lot.
One of the reasons I don't like enabling pda.

 

What what did the comparison show?
Unfortunately for many buyers..lots of blackmarket serials show up with quite a few clone vendors.

 

HiTech_boy

It is (I understand) a bug and M$ charge you for reporting bugs.

I dont know, Nod deleted the file.

I wonder if there are any other keyfinders that NOD would allow

 

Bugs can be fixed . I often contact Microsoft for variety of things and they are always helpful . Everybody can say many and bad things about Microsoft but one is absolutely true - they do respect their legal clients.

Send me the bill if they charge you for reporting this

 

It's not a virus - it's a potentially dangerous file, but it has a legitimate purpose and I use it myself rather often at work.
