Windows Vista has the distinction of being the most secure yet most problematic version of Windows. The privacy and performance issues were partially due to the fact that Vista would prevent the user from logging in if they didn't have a product key or their Vista copy was determined as counterfeit.This led to the rapid production of key generation programs by pros and hackers alike to try and solve this problem.

Not on a end-user level. Manufactures belive it is impossible. But for use on an educational level and not to be used piracy you can search for a keygen program for what ever you are looking for.

Do firewalls think keygens are trojans and do they hurt your computer?

A keygen is a program that edits a file it isn't affiliated with and most antivirus software considers that a hacking attempt (because it is). The difference here is your entire goal is to hack the program, the thing to remember about keygens is they are small. Viruses on the otherhand are typically larger programs if a keygen is a small file you can usually trust that it's legitimate and as long as it's legit it isn't any threat to your computer.


How does keygens work?

Serial numbers for computer software have a specific pattern, which allows the installer or application to detect whether or not it is a legit key. A very simple example would be that every serial number has exactly three occurances of the number 5 in it - so 1932-1253-2319-5512 would be a working serial number. In a real-life scenario the relationships between the numbers would of course be more complicated. The shipped software contains an algorithm that checks whether or not a serial is valid. The software creator has a piece of software that allows him to create serial numbers for the product. To create a keygen, a cracker group (people specialized in breaking copy protection schemes) analyze the program executable to find the part that checks the serial. They then reconstruct the algorithm to create the serials based on the checking code. The finished keygen is an app applying the algorithm to create a serial number. Sometimes keygens do not really contain the algorithm, but rather a list of valid serial numbers, of which one is selected at random. The keygen for Windows xp in the later service packs was more complicated, because Microsoft checked not only whether a key was valid, but also whether it had been sold with a copy and was not already in use on another computer. The keygen sent mass requests to the Microsoft server to check whether or not it was a working key.
