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

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

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.

    • Yes I agree, it's annoying. You can now miss tabs unless you point low enough.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
