Windows XP Dark Edition: Disinfecting

[@hoangviet-nc2of]

What do you think all the folders, beside the original one, do?

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

They are just different revisions of Dark Edition.

Honestly My Mods are safer than these. Because i don't put malware on it. Sadly i already deleted those from my internet archive page all thanks to Microsoft Sending me a discord message about it

[@nathanyellowstarthegoanimator]

Hopefully My friend manages to archive the lost isos but not all of the isos

[@thepwrtank18]

Microsoft would send you a message either by e-mail or mail, they wouldn't use a chat app they don't own

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

Do you mind sharing a link to your internet archive page?

[@nathanyellowstarthegoanimator]

@@4afq Yes MS do and They caught me modifying their operating Systems And they said delete the modded Windows isos or they will cancel my ISP plan and i have no choice but to do or i will loose my internet

@@thepwrtank18 I honestly Doubt it's real or fake. I still have 0 Verification when it's a troll or real. MS made a tutorial about how to modify their Operating Systems and despite that

why not just scan the ISO itself?

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

You're right, ideally, scanning the ISO file itself would be great. However, there are a couple of reasons why virus scanners might not be perfect with ISOs: Hidden threats: Compressed files like ISOs can be like zipped suitcases. An antivirus can examine the suitcase (the ISO) but might miss what's hidden inside (infected files). To properly scan, the antivirus would need to virtually "unpack" the ISO and examine each file individually. Performance: Unpacking and scanning every file within an ISO can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Some antivirus programs might skip this by default for performance reasons. Here's what you can do to stay safe: Antivirus with archive scanning: Look for antivirus software with "archive scanning" or "on-access scan" features. These can unpack and scan ISOs on the fly for better protection. Scan after extraction: If your antivirus doesn't scan archives, consider extracting the ISO to a safe location (like a virtual machine) and then scanning the extracted files. By combining these approaches, you can ensure a more thorough disinfection process for your ISO file.

I wonder if the threats detected were actual threats or false positives...

[@adventuresinnostalgia]

One was a very real and serious virus. The other was a false positive
