Windows 7: 7106 Bogus Alert!

bump and update with some more curious artifacts seen past the 30 minute mark while scanning.



As you can see there are some MS pages not even paid a visit during the short time browsing online in the 7106 so far clean of any malwares. But why are some many tracking cookies for MS pages included in the IE history on any fresh download? makes you wonderrrrrrrrr....

that is strange im running 7077 and slmgr.vbs /dlv gives me a date of 02/06/2010 yet winver gives me a date of 02/03/2010 although im not really bothered as for a change i may actually buy a copy when finally released lol

it's funny that all the early screenshots of build 7106 shows a picture of the installer and it says that it is english but the only version leaked or even released is chinese...

The only thing that matters is the .WIM file. I can mix and match installers and WIM files all day long.

The thing I spotted right off with this one was only seeing some things "tranlated into Chinese" or substituted. In order words this one seems to have been made to look like it was a Chinese build translated back in order to pass it off with a newer build number then it actually is!

The fact that you are seeing a February 2010 expiration date regardless of day there by that alone shows it's older then the 7068 build that sees a 3/10/2010 on that. The 7077 sees the 6/1/2010. I think you can easily see what's going on there.

another BUMP and update! Apparently someone wised up and removed this one fast from the torrent site! When you look now the only thing seen is some wallpaper item for the 7106 phoney!



You can see from one quick look that they must have realized the same and took it off it rather fast!

I think you will find that all but 1 windows 7 torrent is still on that site and I don't think it was the uploaders that removed them.

You're probably right about "someone else" realizing they were found out too fast there! Funny how the 7077 lingers on being a good one as you will note while the garbage disappears fast!

Hi there

This Torrent site is quite good in that fakes once reported are removed pretty quickly and where possible the uploader is BANNED. Of course the nature of Torrents being what they are still doesn't actually stop someone from uploading again but at least this site (which is good for a publicly acessible site) tries to keep a decent handle on things.

If you do use torrents (and who hasn't recently - if we are being honest with ourselves) then the most reliable BAR NONE is Demonid -- you have to get an invite however -- although sometimes if you are quick enough Open registrations are available on Fridays for an hour or two.

Builds coming from there IMO are usually reliable -- I tend to ignore the rest.

Out of the one seen at mininova this was a first there seeing it labeled as the 7106.0.090408-1623_x86fre_RU_EN.iso! I came across that listing there after everyone was pointing to the Chinese to Engligh supposed translation and went to check this out. From the snips at the top of the thread you can see it wasn't any second leak but the same mod.

As you can see that didn't stay there long while some other places may still have it. Fortunately it went onto a special partition set up to verify fact or fiction once someone posts a leak. Call it a form of screening process!

Hey it's better then not saying a word and letting someone trash their system with some garbage pushed out!
