Something that generates installation keys (illegally in most cases) for an
application.

And how do YOU know whatever it is that you are looking is a "key
generator"?

Could be you are asking about a key logger. Run anti-spyware programs
to check (Spybot, Ad-Aware, CWshredder, online pest scanners). Could be
you are asking about a key code generator. These are NOT necessarily
illegal. I'm in QA Software Testing (aka Alpha Test) and use a key
generator to test our product under various expiration schemes
(datestamp, number of seats, number of servers used, etc.). Some are
illegal in that they try to "crack" the key code for a program (so you
can use a pirated copy).

The term "key generator" is far too vague to know about what you are
asking. What was the cause for you query? What are you asking about?
Did you get some warning about it? If you are asking about how to get
or use one, remember that you are posting in a microsoft.public.*
newsgroup.

The question was not vague.

he/she found the on her computer in the temp folder.
Just wander what is was doing on her computer.

My question is did he/she buy the computer from someone else or get
the computer from the store.
