Re: Has been file replaced?

Here are the details for c:\windows\system32\setup.exe on my WinXP Pro
machine:
--a-- W32i APP ENU 5.1.2600.5512 shp 23,040 04-14-2008 setup.exe

Perhaps your file is hidden. If it is really missing then you can restore it
from the i386 folder of your WinXP installation CD. In this case the Windows
File Protection mechanism won't interfere.

I find no setup.exe in windows system32 folder, there is setupapi.dll v.
5.1.2600.5512 setupdll.dll v. 5.1.2600.0
The application is old HHD Sector Scan utility (Floppy Version) 3.0 from
SalvationDATA Technology Inc. File name hsr3.0floppysetup.exe is SFX RAR
archive.

Not clear why this utility tried to replace setup. Probably virus??
I checked file on online scanner, http://www.virustotal.com, and few
antiviruses show that there is a virus:

Avast 4.8.1195.0 2008.09.17 Win32:Spyware-gen
eSafe 7.0.17.0 2008.09.17 Suspicious File
Ikarus T3.1.1.34.0 2008.09.18 Virus.Win32.Spyware
eSafe 7.0.17.0 2008.09.17 Suspicious File

NOD32 and Kaspersky does not detected anything. Is this false positive?
But we know new viruses appears every day. Please give the advice.

The Windows file "setup.exe" is located in 'C:\WINDOWS\system32'.


"file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512"

That is correct for WinXP SP3. 'Windows File Protection' has done its
job. Everything looks fine.
