What is this virus ? - description inside
Hi all,
A friend handed me a software (legit) under the ISO format.
What I usually do is mount these with Daemon Tools. This works great most of the time.
Except for this one. What happens is that, I start the setup.exe, shortly after, the system shuts down and reboots.
After that, the Windows installation is totally corrupt. I think it messes up the 100mb active partition, also corrupts ci.dll.
The system cannot be repaired at all.
If I restore an image (done with Windows' own image utility), no luck as the image does not have (it seems) the content of this crucial 100mb partition.
So you have to reinstall Windows, which recreates this 100mb part. and THEN restore the image.
Anyways, I tought this was Daemon Tools' SPTD fault as I heard bad things about it. So I uninstalled DT, extracted the ISO instead of mounting it, ran the setup.exe once again, then Action Center said "Windows has detected potentially harmful software" and BOOM reboot and same thing as mentionned above.
So it seems it's a virus, but I'd like to know if someone ever had this one and what is its name ? Malware Bytes did not detect anything and it's usually pretty good...
Thanks!
