Older versions of serviceinstaller.exe used pathToSignedProductExe to obtain the containing folder. This folder was then deleted. This way Crackonosh could delete older versions of Avast or current versions with Self-Defense turned off.
In older versions of serviceinstaller.exe it drops windfn.exe which is responsible for dropping and executing winlogui.exe. Winlogui.exe contains coinminer XMRig and in newer versions the serviceinstaller drops winlogui and creates the following registry entry:
Older Versions Of Avast download
Wksprtcli.dll (exports DllGetClassObjectMain) is updating older versions of Crackonosh. The oldest version of wksprtcli.dll that we found checks only the nonexistence of winlogui.exe. Then it deletes diskdriver.exe (previous coinminer) and autostart registry entry. The newest version has a time frame when it runs. It deletes older versions of winlogui.exe or diskdriver.exe and drops new version of winlogui.exe. It drops new config files and installs winrmsrv.exe and winscomrssrv.dll. It also changed the way of starting winlogui.exe from registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run to a task scheduled on user login.
I use Avast v.6 Free Edition since I don't need a permanently activated antivirus that slows down my system. I only use it to analyze certain files before executing them.So I don't want more current versions of Avast that seem to work on Windows XP. -xp-antivirusBesides that I also use Windows 2000 which is not supported.The latest virus definition for Avast 5, 6, 7, 8 is from March 31, 2020.This seems to be confirmed in these urls: -avast-endpoint-protection-now-has-an-end-of-life-of-december-31st-2019 =233259.0Does anyone have the 200331-06 definitions as an .exe file to download and install?Is it possible to install more up-to-date definitions?The link to download the definitions for 5, 6, 7, 8 no longer shows them. -updateI have managed to install it online but it will probably stop working in a while.It is no longer possible to make a new Avast registration, but for now it is possible to register Avast with a free public key for lifetime.Avast universal key: W11332244H9900A0420-8MRTR8W5 -free-antivirusYes, I will be left without new definitions but it has been many years since I had a virus on Windows XP ...
Hello @Cixert! Thanks for posting several links with regard to definition updates of Avast!! Unfortunately, some of your links doesn't work anymore. Secondly, and spoken for me only, I would never use an AV program in Windows XP which can't get up-to-date definition updates. The definition update for Avast! 4 is of March 2018. More than 4 years old! What shall these definitions do for protecting an user in terms of current threats? Even if you have not caught a virus in Windows XP for a long time, it does not mean that you are safe from infection. BTW, the linked definition update for Avast! 5+6+7 is supposed to be of March 2020? Are you sure? Anyway, not much better, unfortunately! And, their program versions are still much older which is no good, either. In terms of Windows XP, there are alternatives which get up-to-date definition updates like Avast! 18, AVG Antivirus, Panda Antivirus, Malwarebytes, ClamWin, K7 Computing Total Security, and WiseVector StopX 3.07, and their program versions are more recent or even most recent. As long as there are such recent AV programs getting up-to-date definition updates, there is actually no reason to use an abandoned one, IMHO. Anyway, thanks for your efforts and your information! Greetings from Germany,
The compilation is made 1 year ago.I had it saved, pending publication.I've tried a few links and found they work, sorry if some don't work anymore.I use Avast 6 with March 2020 definitions.I don't want to use more current versions, since they consume a lot of resources and try to protect me in matters that I don't need.I prefer to work without antivirus, my computer is much faster.Most of the programs that I need, I have downloaded them before 2020 or I do not need versions after 2020 generally.The antivirus only works for me to scan for viruses, not to run in the background.But above all what works is experience and thinking with your head.I am still alive since 2008 without any new virus in my system.I live hahaha without antivirus.
