Solved Is this file malicious?

[Vitali Ortzi]

I'll do that when MS stop using my data

Use official mass grave site and note hacktool isn't a malicious classification so it's not s false positive

It's downloaded from the official website; previously Kaspersky was blocking even visiting the website; currently, not blocking

Even using the activation script Microsoft is still harvesting your data.

Microsoft knows more about you than your parents and friends do whether you use pirated or paid.

There is no way to defeat or stop all Microsoft data collection except to not use Microsoft products.

It's some sort of a trade off; MS doesn't mind using its OS without subscription, they use my data to ultimately get money.
It's a win-win situation.

I am 100% anti-piracy. Every software and other pirate in the world should be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced.

It is theft. Plain and simple. Not acceptable. And Microsoft is stupid. It should disable every single invalid activated product that it detects. It has that capability.

Until tech giants such as Microsoft globally enforce anti-piracy, smaller software publishers suffer because of the dinosaur culture of "I should not have to or don't want to pay." Everybody else pays higher prices to subsidize all the people that pirated Microsoft software because Microsoft refuses to act upon and enforce the laws that are on the books across the world. Software piracy is not a victimless crime.

Instead Microsoft only pursues the large pirating operations. However, if it switched strategies and pursue the average user then it would be far more effective at combating software piracy and set a precedent that it will not tolerate the theft.

I know this is not popular on most any forum, but there it is.

"It has that capability."
This means they can but they don't want to.
In my country, no single home user or small corporate owner has Windows license.

Because everyone that pays for software subsidizes those that do not pay. It is an unfair system for those that do pay.
