and if other files are infected in the same CD-DVD, installing this way a program, I know is clean my computer is safe for any infections?

ASKER

yes
that is they way we have been doing it for many many years before an autorun was even available

Can I browse for the file in order to avoid infections? or do I have to enter the full path?

Hi Nobus,

I am making the DVD again, but I had another idea, since I download everything with getright

I have the log file:

GetRight Download Log For AdbeRdr1000_en_US.exe
--------------------------------------------------
URL:      ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.exe

I use a Yahoo account collecting all the URL I want to dowload NEXT
I send an email (only text) to my POP3 account
Run Getright sandboxed and I start to download the URL's

What do you think about this solution?

THE PROBLEM HERE is I have in the same DVD old programs that I know they are clean such as NERO Version 6.6.X. that there are no longer at their site ready to download.
In the same DVD I have Shadow Defender the bad one (malware) just an example, I have more programs that are malware, so for now my question is
Can I browse for the file in order to avoid infections? or do I have to enter the full path?

if you put the files first on your disk and scan them - no problem as said

ASKER

ok nobus, I understood the idea I had, is not the best way to making the DVD, i will follow your Expert comment

DarinTCH

ps
why not dowload a free A/V
and run it against a disk if to satisfy yourself the disk is clean

Oh, by the way...for the programs that are no longer available to download like Nero (I am of course assuming that this is a legally obtained copy of Nero or upgrade to a legal copy that you will be installing only on the computer to which it is licensed -- my anti-piracy caveeot)....

Copy them from the CD to your hard drive before you throw the infected disk away.

@DarinTCH
I do not need a free AV, since I have ESS V.4.X please take a look at my Tags, I scan my CD-DVD with ESET
In other machine I did a anothe scan w/AVIRA 2012, MBAM, SAS, S&D, and Prevx 3.
For security reason I format "the other machine" and recover my OS and apps with a clean Acronis image.

I know which folder contains malware in the DVD

The problem is the DVD was clean, until I burn more programs, most of them malware

The programs that are no longer available to download like Nero ARE my nightmare, and those programs are clean, Nero is not the only program that is not longer available to download.
The DVD contains old versions that rocks! I am very sad for this, all the programs I paid for.
I contacted with some vendedors and they ask me to UPGRADE, UPGRADE to their newest version, No Discount, like as buying the original program again.
The DVD does NOT contain any kind of KEYGEN, PATCH or illegal software

>assuming that this is a legally obtained copy of ... or upgrade to a legal copy that you will be installing only on the computer to which it is licensed -- my anti-piracy caveeot

Yes all the programs are legal, perhaps I did not buy for 3 computers, I really do not remember, but it if you can find at http://www.oldversion.com/about_us.php for my is ok, the problem with this site is I do not trust the software hosted in their server, they said the software does not contain maiware, but "I have a bad feeling" about this site

About the anti-piracy caveeot
Let's face who has ALL the programs in their computer legal? I am also against piracy, more piracy most expensive software.

Well back to my problem, Yes I know I am making this way too difficult, but I want to learn also, that is why I am proud member of EE, with excelent Experts, my case is ordinary, but If I have to recover information from my company then I will need more knowledge, maybe working in conjuction with Sandboxie, Returnil, AV Rescue CD I do not know..

I know I can only ask one question it is EE rules, if you experts do not want to comment, no problem, I wrote this as background for futher reference

Regards

You don't actually need to explain any of the licensing stuff to me. I just had to throw in my caveeot to be sure nobody thinks I might be supporting piracy!

Honestly, the greatest learning item I can give you here is what I said earlier. Copy from the DVD the stuff you want to keep that you know is clean, or download fresh copies from the Internet. Burn those to a new DVD. Throw away the infected DVD. Seriously.

As it sounds like you made the DVD yourself, I'm curious about the autorun file. Did you set up your own autorun.inf, or did it get added to the DVD somewhere along the line? If you made it yourself you know what it should be doing. You can open that file in notepad to see exactly what it is going to launch.

For your original question, best answer is if you want to run sandboxie (or any other program on the disk), just type in full path to the setup executable. That will only access the specific setup program that you specified -- malware software will not be accessed (but again, the right thing to do is get rid of it so you prevent any accidental infections).

Hope that helps!

ASKER

No, I am sorry I NOT Build a new DVD with autorun file, I am just triying to collect all the good software, in the correct folders (orderly) and yes the best solution is
Throw away the infected DVD
Type in full path to the setup executable sandboxed

I am out of the town tomorrow I will accept a solution, sorry about this
