There are 2 files which claim to be Key generators for Halo, I'm not sure of the sixe b/c I deleted them almost immediately, but I think they are b/w 200 & 300 K.
You'll get a message stating your antivirus program has elimininated a virus & file is safe to use.....IT ISN'T!!!!! When you click to execute file, it disables all your antivirus & Security/Firewall software. Then it sets up an Administrator (Account?)
so that you no longer have the access to uninstall & reinstall. I have Norton Works /Fire wall installed & tried to install Mcaffee, but the installation progam stops after a few seconds. I have removed most of Norton manually, but will probably have to work through most of the system folder to remove all traces, & I may still have to face having installation of any antivirus prog stpped cold.
This is the nastiest (virus?) I have personally come across, & I'm sure the source is Microsoft itself!

if your antivirus deletes it, how does the virus come back?

im also having trouble believing it, mcafee avert always puts the latest threats on there front page, but i dont see anything about this there.

you don't need a key generator for halo just close your eyes and punch #'ss randomly and you get a key

I believe that there either was no actual virus imbedded in the program, or a virus placed there to be deleted by Norton, to lull you into a sense of false security. It's upon the execution of the program itself when all hell breaks loose.
I haven't seen any key gen progs listed for Halo B/4 yesterday, so this could be VERY new.

Buuuuut..... if you did want to multiplay on a non cracked server, then you would need an unused working key.....which is what I want to do, & obviously...I can't!!

Try downloading one of those servers on suprnova.org but I have heard and saw reviews that say multiplay is not that good.

you moron even witha keygen you cant play online other wise every game with a keygen would allow you to play online. take a perminent stamp or brand heat it up and label yourself "STUPID NOOB" on your forheard.
