Curse

Hey. So basically I stopped using Kaspersky as it made me BSoD whenever i logged into MSN. I downloaded Avira.

After a deep scan, it picked up on a few things and i removed them. It also picked up "WORM/Autorun.cxl" in a Photoshop Keygen. I've had this keygen years and nothing was ever picked up, and it's proven rather useful so far.

So would I be better to delete it altogether, or just take the detection as a false positive and leave it as is?

Thanks.

I'd use VirusTotal to check, but keygens are known to contain malware/trojans...

Keygen, Cracks and such can often contain trojans/viruses...etc with them. I use Avira too and whenever it picks up something I delete it, rather lose that file than risk.

I'd suggest you do the same
