Keygen software is always detected as malware

This is how all cracks work, from the photo's you showed, all I see are static AV software saying malware is detected

Keygen is a method to crack software, but due to how it works (memory injection into a software to modify its content, aka make solidworks think it is paid for this way).. it is very similiar to how other malware work, so AV detect it as malware.

A better way to describe this is:

It looks like a duck. Quacks like a duck. But in this case, is actually goose.

They use similar techniques to make each keygen.
