I always thought that keygens were simply something that had figured out the algorithm to creating a legitimate key to a game, and were simply pumping out CD keys for you based on a predetermined algorithm. But if that were that case, why do false positives always appear, and AVs always spaz out when you try to run one? What exactly does a keygen need to accomplish that makes it so similar to a malicious program? Does it somehow modify or dig through the files of the game?
