[QUOTE="Freud2004, post: 938254, member: 88121"] In my case, I suspect a RAT ([B] Remote Access Trojan (RAT), a form of malware allowing a hacker to control your device remotely) was installed when I used the KMS activator. The system never seems to be compromised, nothing strange happened, but I start to watch some cpu utilization that was not normal.[/B] When I start to be suspicious and click in KIS icon to scan the system, KIS simply can't run, just crash, then I go to windows defender to try to run him and broke, yellow icons in control panel. I just download Kaspersky free virus scan tool, and it immediately discovers a trojan and a miner in the system. The work was made in two phases, first the AVs in the system was compromise, then the malware was install, because Kaspersky detected the Trojan easily. It took about two days to discover the problem, because Kaspersky icon still appear in the system tray, but when you click on it, it just crashes. If the miner was not planted, that cause some suspicious cpu activity, I will take more time to realize that KIS was not working. [/QUOTE]
