I might be misunderstanding here, so please feel comfortable pointing it out (just kidding a bit). From what I’ve learned, it’s a mix of A) an unsigned software signature—meaning it isn’t tied to a major company and could have been created by someone in a small team—which might trigger security alerts. B) some versions included a type of virus designed to target particular files or programs, allowing the pirated copy to bypass restrictions. Because it’s still a virus, most antivirus programs will flag it, even though it doesn’t spread widely. In some instances it won’t cause major damage since it’s so specific, but in many cases it gets detected. As I mentioned, I could be mistaken, and everyone is welcome to share their thoughts politely.
Once the "anti virus software" searches for patterns, such as reading memory from other programs. Picture a virus or spyware attempting to steal your bank pin by accessing your browser's memory. Conversely, there are "trainers" who read game memory to alter the value of your money. There are also other types of patterns involved. The second point is political. I understand that some antivirus or spyware intentionally label cracks as viruses, probably for financial gain from the developer.
