thoughts on possible false positive

[sonyboyj]

first off i dont pirate software. a friend asked my advice to a possible threat i told him to upload it to virustotal he gave me the link. he also emailed me the file that i downloaded in a VM i scanned the file with updated Avast,superantispyware and malwarebytes. nothing found also in the VT scan lots of the big names Kaspersky,bitdefender,fseure,M$ say no threat. so i left wondering are the companys saying threat just saying that as its a keygen and adobe maybe paid them to say this to scare ppl. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/0833d82ceade071f5c9ce023d38c991819c5c33a465fc1a2f8081f2b98157b5d/analysis/1474914995/ in my opinion id say its safe.

Hi sonyboyj,

Would not say it is malware per se, but it is classified as riskware, that means a threat to those that unwillingly got it and are not aware what it does.
More-over as a circumventing crack it might be said it is certainly frowned upon by DMCA and might infringe rights where such rights are upheld.

The way it is being compiled has qualities it shares with known malware: https://www.reasoncoresecurity.com/xf-adobecc.exe-6d927ed04c20145185a231acf16328c98508c154.aspx

I would say detection is correct
