Post by SamPost by Ralph FoxPost by SamIs there any alternative web site to download Agent 8.0?
Similar to my first reply in this thread, use the Internet Archive's
"Wayback Machine"...
1. Go to <https://web.archive.org/>
2. In the box "Enter a URL...", type "https://www.forteinc.com/agent/download.php"
3. Press the ENTER key.
I did try that. But when I downloaded the file F-Secure warned that it
contained a virus.
Odd. I have just now tested this.
A) The copy of agentenu800-1272.msi which I just now downloaded from
web.archive.org is byte-for-byte identical to the copy which I
downloaded from forteinc.com in 2014 (and which I have been using
for almost 10 years).
I used this cmd.exe command prompt command to compare the files:
| >fc /b agentenu800-1272.msi temp\agentenu800-1272.msi
| Comparing files agentenu800-1272.msi and TEMP\AGENTENU800-1272.MSI
| FC: no differences encountered
B) I uploaded to virustotal.com, the file downloaded from web.archive.org.
Virustotal reported it clean:
"No security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious"
<https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/999f6aaa4911bea26cd64a1fc458ba9bf377bd1a32f955a90ca142487975d024>
Did F-Secure say which virus was supposed to be in the file?
Run this test to verify the file you downloaded is identical to the original:
1. Open a PowerShell window on the download folder
(For example, Shift+Right-Click on the folder and choose "Open PowerShell window here")
2. Enter this PowerShell command:
Get-Filehash agentenu800-1272.msi | Format-List
The results should look like this. The hash should be *identical* to the one below.
| Algorithm : SHA256
| Hash : 999F6AAA4911BEA26CD64A1FC458BA9BF377BD1A32F955A90CA142487975D024
| Path : C:\Users\{*USERNAME*}\Downloads\agentenu800-1272.msi
The copy of agentenu800-1272.msi which I just now downloaded from
web.archive.org also has the exact same hash as the copy which I
downloaded from forteinc.com in 2014.
