    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 1 14:13:57 2022
    I am beginning to discover why I hate Windows 10 so much :-(

    It has decided that Nirsoft's Produkey is a threat because it allows
    Windows to run without a key (Win 10 can and does anyway).

    I can't find how to flag it as "allow", it was pretty easy in Win 8.1. Can anybody tell me how please?

    Fraid not, never used W10 - still on W7!
    Don't quite a few AV's disagree with Nirsoft
    stuff? I know my Bitdefender does, coz I had to
    exclude it from scans.

    I can't see how it's a risk to me. I reckon MSFT has applied pressure to
    the anti-virus companies?

    I'm sorry I didn't thank you for this link.

    Much appreciated, it's proving a life saver following a major
    re-organisation of my PC's, many thanks :-)
