Win32 EVO-gen [susp] - While downloading SP3 ISO for XP?
« on: January 10, 2014, 01:31:23 PM »
Was downloading Service Pack 3 ISO for XP from Microsoft and got this alert. I am hoping its a false positive and Microsoft is not offering a ISO that came with an infection.

Anyone know if this is a false positive? I am guessing that [susp] means suspicious as in it could be a false positive.  :-\

Attached is screenshot showing detection.

Here is the link that I was using from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25129

Need to create a SP3 Slipstream, but on hold until i get a confirmation that its a false positive.

It looks like one of the SP3 HP Printer drivers trigger a false positive in Avast 8 (and later?)

Thanks for the response. I'll fetch it from quarantine and burn the iso to use for my slipstream then.

Are you sure you downloaded it from MS and not a bogus site.

I believe the download was direct from Microsoft, since I was at Microsofts site when I selected the download and it told me that others that downloaded this also downloaded 2 other updates etc, which I chose not to download the other 2 updates since I just needed SP2 and SP3. In the attached image at my first post, it specifies the URL path. I knew that the origin would be in question if I didnt supply the screenshot showing the URL path of data origin.

I was able to bring my XP Home SP0 to slipstream of SP2, and then use SP2 to slipstream to SP3 since you cant slipstream to SP3 directly from SP0, and then used this info I found at www.bleepingcomputer.com where I am also a active member under the username of goldfist, where a person pointed a prior information inquiry to http://xdot.tk/updates.html and this patch/hotfix downloader worked awesome.

Now I just need to install XP Home SP3 with hotfixed slipstream to this Pentium 4 3Ghz HT with 2GB RAM, and everything should be good. I am curious as to if there will be any updates or not after the install. Would be cool if there are few to complete or none if the patch/hotfix downloader list is up to date before creating the slipstream.

This site for the patch/hotfix downloader for use with nLite claims:

So I am guessing not many additional updates needed if any.
