Windows XP & Vista cracks show up as security risks

Hello,

 

I was just wondering why activation cracks such as AntiWPA and Windows Vista Developer Activation 2.0 show up as malware / viruses. Surely its not symantec's job to protect Microsoft's investment. A lot of people use these cracks regardless and simply will not use norton antivirus for this reason. I do hope Microsoft is paying symantec a small "fee" for all the lost customers due to this.

 

Both these cracks are open source and as such are very unlikely to contain any sort of malicious code. (I have checked)

 

It just seems a waste... Any discussion is welcome

 

Kristian.
