Avast gives me a Win32Evo Trojan warning when downloading NT 4.5 binary or ISO images. Is it a false positive or did they accidentally introduce a Trojan into the code? Anyway Avast won't let me download NT 4.5 due to a Trojan warning. So I can't test it out unless I disabled my AV. Edit: Why the downvote, scan it with Avast yourself if you don't believe me. I refuse to use it unless it is verified to not have a Trojan. Even if it might be a false positive.

  Antiviruses are useless and you probably shouldn't be using one in 2015. Run the ISO in a VM if you don't trust it. (I didn't downvote you.)

  They do this for "cracks" and "warez". I have a remote desktop licensing reset program and it flags it as a virus when it isn't.

What's the license of that?
- asiekierka 11y ago
  The license seems to be "very illegal", as this is a fork of the NT4 source code leak.

The NT 4.0 source code leak was in 1999 or so. How did it take so long for a compilation project to get underway?

I wouldn't go anywhere near that. Not worth getting legally tainted.

Interesting, I didn't know about OpenNT. Do you happen to know why they based it on the leaded NT4 source instead of the leaked win2k one?
- noselasd 11y ago
  The leaked win2k was very incomplete.
