I think it was in the "keygen" included with the torrent.

Keygens are one of the most dangerous pieces of softwar to use, since most of the time they are either simple random number generators or trojans.

No - keygens, per se are not dangerous at all.

What they are supposed to do is fine.

But, like any other piece of software, from who/where it came from can make it suspect.

So - carrying your faulty logic to it's correct, logical conclusion, the point is be careful of from where you get any software.
