    Having recently just downloaded the Starship Troopers demo, I felt like cheating a little - So I found a trainer for the demo from gamecopyworld, which usually never host malicious files, and NOD pops up with a warning:

    I then upload it to Virustotal to see if it's a F/P which I think it isn't:

    All the popular gaming sites such as gaminhell, gamespot, IGN are hosting this file,
    and NOD pops up from each and every one of them :cool:

    Gotta love that!

    Just about any places that deals with cheats, no-cd-cracks, serial cracks, etc...has bad stuff, GCW has been notorious for those like the others.

    This is actually a false positive from NOD32 (and few others).
    The KeyHook part is watching over Trainer keys you press while you play the game (and you want to cheat). But some AVs detect it as malware.
    I know coz i got such warning a year ago or so.

    A rusty babelfish translation:



    Babel Fish Translation Help

    In English:
    - Trojan.Keylogger.HotKeysHook.A - the most famous false alarm Some years ago this file was falsely classified of the virus software AvP as Trojaner, removed after two days however again (on my intervention by the way). Since many smaller anti-virus programs take over simply their data base, this Mismeldung did not spread racing fast, unfortunately all programs the virus sample had again removed (most to have it however done). Straight lately some scanners the message took up stupid way again. Thus here still times completely clearly: World-wide the furthest common coach production software TMK coach Maker kit uses an algorithm, which looks like a Keylogger. Is also somehow in obvious, because in the long run coach makes nothing different one than keystrokes into a program to transfer. I assume times, everyone, which used already times a coach of this kind, have the pertinent file H@tKeysH@@k.DLL in the Windows/System32-Ordner to lie. , is however no safety risk looks piratenmaessig.
