The sad part of all this is that a simple install of a popular Microsoft Office application has now taken over 7 hours of time for two people, likely due to an error in the Avast definitions. For this reason, it is best if anyone willing to give it a try does so sooner rather than later.
MICROSOFT ONENOTE 64BIT UPDATE
Of course, if Avast figures out it was their error, they will update the definitions. If some other people give it a try, it will provide more useful data. Feedback directly from Avast will be greatly appreciated. It looks like it is an Avast false positive, but there really is no way to know without more data.


We may do some comparisons to see what changed during the install.

We made full system images before and after, as well as a complete copy of the registry and file structure. We then performed a full scan with Windows Defender. We then performed a boot time scan with Avast. Afterwards, we performed a full scan with Avast. This would be a huge discovery.Īfter hours of deliberation, and not receiving enough feedback here or from Avast, we went ahead and let the installation continue. The Avast realtime shields should be able to scan that data, and they report the malware previously mentioned (Avast calls it a "virus", but that seems to be inaccurate terminology by Avast, as I think they really mean "some type of malware").ġ) Someone has broken into the Microsoft servers and placed malware on their servers that download executable software onto potentially millions of computers. Although scanning the site from where the installer came can be helpful, it does not provide any scan of what the Microsoft OneNote installer actually downloads. Once the installer runs, it downloads Microsoft OneNote. The Microsoft installer is downloaded directly from the aforementioned site, and Avast scans the installer as clean. These sites are for professional malware research purposes Thank you for all the good information. Do not visit links/sites listed within scanurl that contain links to live and virulent malware. But, use only those tools provided there that give you real-time scanning and always use a sandbox to protect your system from harm. Use this site to check out any downloads before visiting: Within this page are all kinds of useful webscanning tools to check out the current status of any website you wish to visit before you go there. In comparison, the main site, shows no anomalies: There is Jsand 2.3.6 marked as suspicious in Detection ResultsĪt the bottom of the page there is Additional (Potential) Malware noted: One entry noted. A clean site can be hacked at any time and provide malicious files because it was attacked and compromised and the webmaster is unaware. There are alternative (safer) ways to find out if there are potential issues with a site or a file download, (even if that site is Microsoft.)Īny site can be compromised without notice. The Start menu should display all programs which are installed on your computer.Always best to never try out unknown or even known software (even with Avast running) as no a/v will catch all malware. The first option is to check which version of Microsoft OneNote you have via the Start menu. If you have lost access to OneNote 2016 after installing Office 365 or Office 2019, reinstall via this Microsoft article. If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, you will also have OneNote Online.
