Office 2010 VL Edition Activator

SAFErating from user itsnolongerme for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

As wassup said, it's related to an activator for Office 2010. MSE flagged the file today but I told it to ignore.

THREATrating from user MikeOne for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

As previously, this file should be an activation service, but it is not signed and for most antiviruses it looks like Application.Keygen(not a virus). Proceed with care, it can be target for many viruses.

Office 2010 Activator

SAFErating from user Vortch for file C:\Windows\kmsem\KMService.exe

Yes, it's an auto-activator for MS Office, many virus programs will report it as malware because a company can be sued for using Office without paying. No, MikeOne, this hash# is not malware.

As has been said, this file should be an activation service, but it is not signed and for most antiviruses it looks like Keylogger (not a virus). Proceed with care, it can be target for many viruses.

I have found kmservice.exe as well in windows7. I do use ms word 2007 but not 2010. I use AVG virusscanner and its results is that kmservice might be a threat. So what is the next step. Qurantaine or delete or ignore it?

SAFErating from user Man for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

Appeared after using an office 2010 activator. Simulation that makes office think its legit when serial is looked up. False positive report.

THREATrating from user mike for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

i believe this is a threat as the exe was attached to my explore and my mal-ware anti bytes and AVG 9 detected it

SAFErating from user metoo for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

Keygen/Crack, simulating Microsoft Activation Server File is running as a service, waiting for activation requests from Microsoft Office 2010. Microsoft Office 2010 will need reactivation every 180 days, so as long as the service is running you do not have to care about it.

SAFErating from user stry for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

An Activator Service for MSOffice 2010 Activator (typically if you've 'pirated' MSOffice 2010). It runs as a service, but, buyer be ware, you never know. If things start going wonky you know where to look. Otherwise, I suffer no issues from it.

SAFErating from user xenover for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

Safe, it is a part of the Office 2010 activating service. Do not worry about this file.

SAFErating from user FB for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

It's part of an Office 2010 activator application. ESS gives me a false positive about it, but it's safe to have it.

kmservice.exe is a activator for office 2010....but i dont know if use serial it be like that....coz im use crack..KMS activator

SAFErating from user hbukhat for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

this file is completely safe. what you guys are experiencing is a false-positive due to Microsoft. this is because they want us to BUY it. just to let you know I scanned it kaspersky 2011 and also commodore and both said safe. and it is also not a rootkit.

SAFErating from user lol for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

Safe, is a crack and harmless

SAFErating from user Mark for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

ZWT, Chinese Spy Network???

SAFErating from user Invernessell for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

This is a safe file needed for crack activation. Ignore all the 'threat' comments as it is 100% tried and tested safe. It inserts a registry key and a office crack and is incorporated into the system. My system is fine.

THREATrating from user Admin for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

This file is detected by many antiviruses as malware.

SAFErating from user DressedGurl for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

SAFErating from user Dotkay for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

This is SAFE, and part of Office 2010's activation crack. The file returns a FALSE POSITIVE from antivirus software because of commercial treaties with Microsoft: Microsoft wants people to pay for a license instead of cracking the software and using it for free, so they pay security companies to flag software that is HARMLESS to the user as malware, for the single and exclusive reason that it makes them LOSE MONEY.

Threat! Warning: it tried to solicit information (My Password) when I ran another application (Game called Granado Espada GE.exe), but was detected by AVG and I immediately moved it to vault and deleted it.

SAFErating from user zeratul for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

It's safe. As mentioned, just a service used to keep ms office 2010 activated

SAFErating from user Someone for file C:\Windows\KMService.exe

It seems to be safe. After the EZ activator (kms.exe) is used, it attaches itself to win32 which makes it suspicious. Fortunately some antivirus remove it eg., Avira

The file KMService.exe is part of the mini KMS-activator for Microsoft Office 2010. Without this service, the activator won't work.
