autoKMS.exe is installed when you crack Office.
Its part of the crack. AV and similar AVG software often flag this as a threat. This is a false positive.
Add the file to the whitelist and dont worry. Just AV doing a little bit of microsofts dirty job :)

Ce fichier permet l'activation des produits Microsoft notamment Windows (de Vista à 10) et le Pack Office (de 2007 à 2016). Le supprimer vous obligerait à payer une nouvelle licence.
