I loaded OpenSolaris 2009.06 (Solaris 10) in VMware (Workstation 6.5.0 build 118166) on a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ with x32 Vista, and upon powering up I get a message:
“You are running a 64-bit guest operating system, but the virtual machine is configured to run a 32-bit operating system. To ensure that a 64-bit guest operating system will function correctly you must:
1. Power off this virtual machine.
2. Change the guest operating system type to a 64-bit operating system in virtual machine settings.”
However, I found that after bypassing this message that the guest will run properly with no changes.
I had some Win32/AMalum infections turn up this morning in CA Anti-Virus (Vista, 2007, ver. 8.4.0.28, engine 31.6.0) after updating to sig. 6604. I’ve seen that others are experiencing the same problem. I believe theses are false positives found with heuristic scanning. Mine were all found in Cygwin files. I checked with CA and this is what they say:
“Win32/Malum (similarly known as Win32/VMalum and/or Win32/AMalum) may be reported when CA Anti-Virus uses advanced techniques to generically detect a worm or trojan that affects the Win32 platform.
Should you have this detection reported, we highly recommend that you submit a sample of the affected file to CA Anti-Virus Research for analysis.”
