First, you are relying on Kaspersky which I don't think is that reliable of a source anymore give what we know. Second, I can definitely say there are something up with a lot of keygens and cracks. I thought a lot of big name scene groups were reputable and there is no way that they'd sneak in a trojan, but low and behold after ignoring a few Windows Defender warnings... I could literally hear my computer randomly spinning up at random times, it would never sleep, games were choppy, etc.

Did a complete reinstall without installing any scene software and the problem was solved. Just because people haven't taken the time to properly investigate the security of cracks and keygens doesn't mean that they don't contain actual trojans.
