(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Is there any way to differentiate between an actual virus and a false positive on a .exe keygen?

well im not sure on that but who in their right mind would willingly give a program access to their computer that comes up as a virus how exactly can you know it isnt one

Not exactly, all I rcomend is only using from trusted websites, (and members). As well as checking what it show's up as... For example, if it's a trojan; it is likely to be legit just look it up using your choosen anti-virus! (Don't use if it say's: "Deletes important files/registrys") :p

If your AV detects a virus run the program sandboxed, It wont allow any harm to your computer as they are run in a virtual environment. You can check it out here: You must login or register to view this content.

you can never be sure, when downloaded a file you do not trust scan it with You must login or register to view this content.
suspicious files like "craagle" are also detected
also alot of utilities that help you hack are.

but if it isnt such a program and more than just 1 antivirus detects it on jorri virusscan you might not want to open it.. but even if it doesnt detect anything,, you can never be sure, trojans and keyloggers etc are so easy to make undetected.. even really old ones..

so even if a virus scan says nothing you cannot be sure :p.
only thing you can do is be aware of what you download and make sure its from a trusted person/website...
:beer:
edit: and answer to your question; you can never be sure, false detections are mostly on files like cracksearchers, keygens, and programs that help you hack like trojan clients autophirsers bruteforcers etc.
if you get a detection on like a microsoft file dont open it than its not false :p
look at size of files if they are normal for the file you think it is.
if you get an wheir error after opening a file it might be a virus to

Well, like Sandboxie cant stop iStealer. it still sends the logs.

But usually Sandbox is good way.

Oh, I never knew that. However, I'm sure your firewall would catch it uploading the logs to a server.

No
I didnt know that either.
But I tested Dereks crypted iStealer server...
And I had all firewalls and anti-virs on and I ran it Sandboxed.
None of av's detected it, and it send my passwords to Derek.

Ouch. Better run HiJackThis a few times a week or even after you've been installing programs that are risky, I'm sure HiJackThis detects but not 100% percent.

you can always use anti keylogger shield, it will stop all keyloggers from working 100%
i posted a download of it here:

hijack just looks at registry keys whats starting up.. it doesnt detect virusses etc... but it sure is a good tool to remove them i agree with you:y:
