Sometimes, a Keygen is a program that does the same job as a virus (entering and modifying programs while bypassing countermeasures) but the difference is they are much simpler. Look at the size of the file, there's no reason for a keygen to be very large and there's no way for a virus to be very small.

Do firewalls think keygens are trojans and do they hurt your computer?

A keygen is a program that edits a file it isn't affiliated with and most antivirus software considers that a hacking attempt (because it is). The difference here is your entire goal is to hack the program, the thing to remember about keygens is they are small. Viruses on the otherhand are typically larger programs if a keygen is a small file you can usually trust that it's legitimate and as long as it's legit it isn't any threat to your computer.
