Folks, its a 200% fake

the real 7063 looks like:

6.1.7063.0.winmain.090313-1842

This information I've got from our russian site http://wzor.net/

That differs by only one hour...

and what's the "x86fre" bit for?

Also there's a space between 6. and 1. "6. 1" looks weird. Oops: never mind. Just looks larger with Segoe UI vs MS Sans Serif.

I am getting this in the Event Log for build 7057.

Event 7045 Service Control Manager

A service was installed in the system.

Service Name: INSTB32

Service File Name: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\INSTB32.SYS

Service Type: kernel mode driver

Service Start Type: demand start

Service Account:

It started logging Saturday 3/14/2009 and re-occurs at random times. I have searched the internet but no real information is conclusive. The above file does not exist on my system. Avira and Defender did not detect it as harmful, if it ever was there. The only thing I installed just prior to when the error started was the new Adobe Reader v9.1. FYI.

Is this a rootkit: INSTB32? http://www.techsupportforum.com/security-c...ssible-f-p.html

Probably from a tampered-with 7057 iso downloaded via torrents. It starts dormant, it appears, then seems to activate itself after some days and installs itself in stealth as you are reporting.

And the free AVG doesn't protect against rootkits!

What is the best Antivirus software to use with build 7057?

I was using Nod32 but have encountered problems where it slows down the whole system.

I was using Nod32 for about a couple of weeks(just testing it out), then just today i went back to Kaspersky which i have been using for more than a year :)

Oh BTW, get this one. There actually is a newer one, which is 8.0.0.1071, but Kaspersky seemed to have pulled it down, which i have no idea why. I got 8.0.0.1071 from a torrent :)

Build 1071 has a fixed expiration of two days ago. However, you can use the key from their forums, which I also posted here, for another three months of use.

I sent my 7057 x32 uxtheme files to rafael and he has now patched them and uploaded to his website Link

Use these and replace with this theme i found over at devaintart.

Makes for a better default non-aero look imo

:)

edit...damn..:( this theme doesent work on 7057....it applies just find but everytime you try to open any kind of explorer process or window it simply closes

LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

Start -> shell:common startup, right click desktop.ini and set it to hidden. Next time you log on it won't be there.

Browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft and delete the Windows Live Contacts folder

i cent get my scanner (canon lide 30) to work with windows 7. the strange thing is that win7 recognizes it and the scanner is also listed on "scanner and cameras" in the control panel. but it wont work.

the button "import from scanner or camera" under windows paint is blank, same with paint.net.

xnview gives me the following error: "acquire returned false".

its pretty important i should scan some docs so help would be appreciated.

thanks to google i found a bit more infos

http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-discus...in-probs-2.html

so it seems its more a general prob of this windows 7 build than a driver problem. i tried every suggested solution there but no luck. :(

Hi,

I downloaded and installed the 7057 build last week. However It seems that my personal firewall from Zonealarm seems its not working on it. The system though has detected that Zonealarm is installed and turned off "Windows Defender" Any guidance would be very helpful.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
