After reading this post, i think its safe to say that people must ignore the other post in this topic!Hi all
Why don't people EVER give PROPER info for this stuff
1) If MS knows that these are "Infected" - give the hashes for the "Infected" builds -- we've all got the hashes for the Official builds so it's easy to check.
2) Say WHAT BUILDS are infected. Microsoft has been burying its head like an Osterich in the sand even refusing to ACKNOWLEGE any builds other than the BETA 7000 and the official 7100 EVEN EXIST.
3) If this stuff has a botnet / trojan in it publish a method of detection -- some people will ALWAYS use stuff from "dubious" sources -- and in doing so can transmit stuff to software obtained Legitimately.
By just saying certain downloads might contain a Botnet etc without publishing methods of detection etc is just being PLAIN IRRESPONSIBLE.
Information such as saying "XXXX" might contain a virus / malware etc doesn't actually help ANYBODY and merely re-inforces the perception that they are just scaremongering.
If your build matches the Official one it WON'T contain anything it shouldn't.
Of course with the Official RC being easily (and quickly) available it really doesn't make any sense to download it from a torrent -- but that is a TOTALLY different issue.
