Many antivirus programs flag KEYGEN-ZWT.EXE as a "HackTool" or malware. While some users claim these are "false positives" due to the nature of the tool, keygens are frequently used as Trojan horses to deliver spyware, ransomware, or keyloggers.

Software activated through keygens may be unstable, crash frequently, or fail to receive critical security updates from the original developer.

Using such tools often requires disabling security software, leaving your system completely unprotected against any malicious code embedded in the crack.
