@ Fernando..
what you wrote is more ridiculous…
checking the MD5SUM or SHA1SUM does not tell you if it has a Trojan, Malware, or Viruses..
all that tells you is if the file has been altered in anyway from the original ..

Sometimes.. people add a .TXT file with the name of their website, who they are, what Pirate Group they represent, etc ..
And this .TXT file with change the MD5SUM ..
That does not mean it has Trojans..

All this post was about was to see if the Windows CD/DVD is an OEM or RTL ..

I think this post was helpfull!!

@ MyDigitalLife Poster..
instead of going through “Task Manager” to get the “About Windows” Window up you can just go to “Start”, “Run”, and Enter “WinVer” …

Thanks for the info.

Ridiculous. The above check doesn’t tell the user if the “OS image” has backdoors or trojans installed.

The true way to check if an OS CD/DVD image is legit is by checking its MD5SUM or SHA1SUM.
