RegKey that is being flagged by Trend Micro: Trend is flagging the word ‘NirSoft’ in the following Registry Key and is not actually detecting any specific NirSoft product ProduKey, or the program they say has been detected (Asterisk Logger). In the meantime, below are examples showing how major anti-virus packages flag ProduKey (we will add to this list as new examples become available): We are currently working on eliminating the ProduKey application from Spiceworks. However, many anti-virus programs flag ProduKey as a precautionary measure against “rogue” individuals (aka “hackers”) who could use the application in a Virus, Trojan, etc. In Spiceworks, ProduKey ( http:/ Opens a new window / utils/ product_cd_key_viewer.html) is a valid and useful program for Network Administrators that allows you to gather information on your software license keys.

This warning is a false-positive – which means you can ignore it.

It is common for anti-virus products like Trend Micro, Symantec, and AVG to flag ProduKey - an application that Spiceworks uses to gather Product Key information. NOTICE: This post is being updated with new information as it becomes available.
