Denis W. Veteran Posted March 18, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 18, 2009 Folks, its a 200% fakethe 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neo7 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneunique Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleSpellbinder Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 @ wayneunique No issues with avast home edition on my end. Works just as well in 7 (7057) as it did in Vista for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xJakex Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup i noticed that earlier, that's what persuaded me to go back to Kaspersky, thanks for the key. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlang Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 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.

simonlang Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 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. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinvicki Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
