[WallabyJack]

Installed on windows 10 latest release, latest patch ....

In event viewer ; Event id 5038 in  windows log->security

Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.

File Name: \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Program Files\Intel\Wired Networking\NCS2\Agent\Coinstaller.dll

In Windows log->Applications and Services Logs->microsoft->windows->CodeIntegrity->Operationnal

a lot of event id 3004 folowed by event id 3089

3004: Windows is unable to verify the image integrity of the file \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\Installer\{FBDEEBC8-592A-415F-AD68-086A8EEFA433}\ARPPRODUCTICON.exe because file hash could not be found on the system. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

3089: Signature information for another event. Match using the Correlation Id.

Unstalling software (Proset 25.2) clear errors and functionnality...

Software and driver operating as expected - no problem to report

Just want to let you know... this is an annoying error...

We may not be the OP but we all share the same issue and the cause seems to be the same aswell.

I installed the previous version of the driver and the Windows Event Viewer isn't flooded anymore, and I don't have random resets of the network card either.

Doesn't matter. Everyone's issue is different (whether you think so or not). Open your own conversation.

Alfred,

Attached are the logs from running the scanning tool. 

I did have the same experience as the OP and the security warning I am getting is:

Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.

Hi ADargon,

Thank you for your reply and for the time that you have taken out of your busy schedule to provide us those information.

As much as we would like to help you on this thread, given that your error message is different and you have an additional concern with the adapter, it would be best if you create another thread. This thread’s issue is due for closure, and we would still want to continue helping you, so we would need your cooperation to just start a new thread, and we will be happy to help you.

We hope for your understanding regarding this.

Best Regards,

Alfred S
