I downloaded the file "xpsp1a_en_x86.exe" from the url:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/4/f/54f8bcf8-bb4d-4613-8ee7-db69d01735ed/xpsp1a_en_x86.exe
then opened up a command prompt and entered
xpsp1a_en_x86.exe -x to extract the files so i could
"slipstream" the files into a legal copy of XP. Well Norton
AV updated with 20040513-017-i32.exe version detected a
virus called "Bloodhound.HybridCOM". I was just wondering
why would i be getting a virus alert directly from a
Microsoft download?
File infected name: fpadmcgi.exe

Got the idea from this site:
