I have just installed WinPenPack but my antivirus NOD32 has quarantined 2 files:
pspv.exe as a Win32/PassView.163 application
keyfinder.exe as a Win32/PSWTool.RAS.A application

What do you suggest needs to be done?

Hi sluice, welcome to WPP forum!,
it seems to be a "false positive" problem for these executables. In particular, the second one is a "potentially dangerous executable".
Sometimes this problem occurs for UPX compressed executables (both native or X-Lancher one). But some anti-virus programs (i.e. NOD32) are recognizing also hackers tools as potentially dangerous.
In fact, "Keyfinder is a freeware utility that retrieves your Product Key (cd key) used to install windows from your registry", and "PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored on your computer by Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and MSN Explorer", so they could be used also for illegal uses. NOD32 don't know if you are legitimate to execute these softwares on your PC, so, for system safety, it quarantines them.
WPP executables are accurately checked against all viruses before packaging (but Murphy Laws exists, so...). If there is a problem, I think that is not about a virus.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough NOD32 to give you a solution about your problem. But if someone else could be more precise...
Greetings

Antivirus "False Positive" Problems

helo ...please visit :
www nirsoft net / false _ positive _ report . html
from : -Link-

Sometimes Antivirus scanner reports that a program is infected with a Virus or
Trojan, even when the program is not really infected with any malicious code.
This kind of problem is known as "False Positive" or "False Alert", and it's quite
a common problem in some of the password recovery tools provided in NirSoft
Web site.

bye bye ..and thanks for download Winpenpack

ps. WinPenPack is very very secure pack
