McAfee kills keygen.exe - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

The title sums it up. Any file called keygen.exe is summarily deleted by McAfee Virus Scan 8.5i. I can't change any of the settings because it's governed by the ePO.

Anyone got a way around this?

Pay for software?

Rename the file?

Get AVG?

Take your pick.

Any one of those should work, yes.

Or run your keygen on a different machine and copy the key over manually.

I installed a Virtual PC.

Nearly every keygen out there is bundled with a trojan or virus of some sort.
