I am going this route before screwing around with microsoft updates and such. I’m going to try loading some legacy win XP graphic drivers and test if there’s a different screen upon booting the pae boot option. This is normal, but it’s actually good people pay attention to this sort of thing.įrom all my reading and experimenting, I will submit there’s a nvidia and other graphic driver problems. There are no viruses in any of this code, but due to how it’s accessing kernals (with your permission) a decent virus/malware should detect something. Okay, First, this wj32 and patch has been around quite some time and appears to be the most dependable, robust and actively updated one. So, I’ll be sticking with the older versions accessible via the Wayback Machine. In conclusion, if this new patch it legitimate and not actually infected, I apologize, but there are too many red flags here and I don’t have the C knowledge to check the source code, or the tools to recompile it for comparison. It’s also possible that the older versions also used to trigger those flags but have since been cleared as producers of false positives in the anti-malware databases. It’s also possible that, in the process of making the patch work with Windows 10, legitimate changes needed to be made that trigger heuristics flags in anti-malware scanners. I looks like he may have the ability to upload infected files but not the ability to disable or remove negative/revealing comments. The original author of the patch spoke perfect English but the guy claiming to the be author and defending the infected patch in the comment section (using the name evgeny) speaks English poorly.

Those older versions scan completely clean. If you use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine you can download the older versions of the patch (before someone replaced the link URL’s to direct people to the new infected patch). This new Windows 10 version of the patch is seen as heavily infected by anti-malware scanners. There’s fair chance this site has been compromised to some extent.
