https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=HackTool%3AWin32%2Fkeygen&meta=&rlz=1I7GGLL_en-GBGB407 seems to be loads of hits with suggested answers.

It may be that essentials clears it but not everywhere and so it reinstalls. Had that sort of irritation with a different infection on my woman's PC not so long ago. I had to change things in 3 places and run a special removal tool.

Have you downloaded and installed any pirated software? The hacktool is a key generator for 'cracking' programs you don't wish to pay for.
It may be that you downloaded the hack and it won't go until you uninstall the illegally obtained program, or it could just be a case of switching off system restore, run MSE, reboot PC then switch system restore back on. Sometimes these virus' lurk in the system restore file and just reinstall themselves every time you boot up.

It seems that you have scanned with Microsoft Security Essentials and can identify the Hack tool which should be removed as soon as possible.

You should now download and run the free edition of Malwarebytes. :-

i have the same problem like you, and i don't know how do i get infected with Win32/keygen. my antivirus program cannot remove, and then i search online forum. i find a post from TeeSupport which tell me some steps and i can get rid this virus.
steps : 1, reboot computer and then log on with safe mode with networking. 2, go the control panel, and search the Win32/keygen related programs, and then remove them 3, delete the added files and registry created by this Trojan 4, reboot computer and check.
