There's the same problem referred to in the main April 2005 thread above

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...c=299731&st=120

Admins, please close this thread?!

Hi there,

using the torrent link on about the 5th page of the main April 2005 topic above and a direct (mirrored) link to download the (full) April 2005 update. However I'm running the AVG anti-virus software, and it warns that the .exe file (for both downloads) contains the Trojan Horse: Downloader.lstbar.8.K

Any ideas, is my Anti-Virus getting a false positive or what?

Have "healed" the fiels and have to reboot to restore them (which I'm about to do now - assume that this worked okay unless I edit this post to the contrary), so no harm done, but a bit worrying.

/MK.

[uPDATE] - no go, not able to restore/heal the file (free anti-virus software, so what can I expect!). Is it really infected?!

    • This is what happens when numerous "twenty somethings" are allowed to run amok with little to no supervision by more senior/knowledgeable people. Apparently, cheaper labor is more important than putting out quality products.

    • The inconsistencies in the Windows interface have been plaguing us for so long that it has practically become a joke. I just wonder when we'll have a new Windows with a complete UI/UX as it used to be... oh how I miss that... 😔
    • I don't know if the Obamas are still involved with Netflix, but if they are like they were with a lot of influence, they could be the ones nudging Netflix into foreign shows. Just saying, nothing poltical meant by it. Peace
