CD contents and other info
- Both DEFAULT.jpg and Matrix02.bmp has a file date of October 10, 2012. The ISO has been clearly tampered with. There are several cases of this, as you will soon see:
- Avast! Antivirus, Windows Media Player 10, Nero 6.6.0.12 in Spanish and Microsoft Office XP are supposed to come with the ISO, but it has been overwritten with different programs instead. AVG Anti-Virus 2012 build 2197a5126 takes Avast! Antivirus's place, Microsoft Office 2007 (just the bootstrapper on its own, no less) takes Microsoft Office XP's place, and Nero and Windows Media Player just straight up don't exist at all. A new program (PowerISO) is added, but is never used because it's not in
RunOnceEx.cmd.
