How many times have I said...DON'T USE TORRENTS.
Well, desperate to get the latest build, I found one to be a .rar file which immediately made me suspicious. Another stupid ass thing I did was to not make sure the hashes were identical.
There were files called 4thmarch.exe and InstallsConvertor-303559_c3b3a02be03eddd6bf896ef9cc6662f8.exe.
These ARE virus infected. I extracted the contents of the extract.exe file using Universal Extractor.
If you're going for a torrent, download 1 single .iso file, nothing else....even this isn't a guarantee.
I removed the virus manually from the command prompt and in Safe Mode by delteing about 7 files in the root of the C: drive. 1 in the startup folder, three in msconfig, and 2 services.
Simply put.....BEWARE!!

Always check the provenance of the build as well before using . Check the SHA1 and checksum as well.
BTW (OT) but build 7068 (x-86 only) is now out in the wild (from our Russian sweet lady! Thanks -- but can you leak the 64 bit version as well.
(It's on that well known Nautical site on the bay and the small whatever it is from NL. If you do D/L please be considerate and SEED as well )
File name 7068.0.090321-1322_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_AIISKU-GRC1CPRFRER_EN_DVD.iso
