Repair: Seeking help with system restoration

[dTerm]

Dear fellow gamers,

though I bought both SP games last year already, this is my first post here. I believed that my account here was lost, after I experienced difficulties during the registration process back then.
But it still works, that's great.

Unfortunately I had a malware infection on my computer recently and now I want to make sure the files are clean.
Can someone please send me checksums (sha256 or stronger) for the unzipped game installers?
The disk with my backups is giving me reading errors, because of bad blocks, I guess.

Any help appreciated!

Regards

Is it not easier to re-download the installation files?

I tried using info I found on line to verify SHA-256 checksum and the screen blinked and that was all...if it created a file IDK where it is

The other thing IDK is which game installers you have.... we have produced a number of them so without knowing that it's all guesswork

Thanks for the quick responses.

@scorpio_rocks:

I would have to pay for this service. Not that I doubt, that the games are worth the money. But I just bought them, so to speak.


@DRG:

Glad you asked. I bought the games in november last year, so I am speaking of winSPWW2 V15 and winSPMBT V16.

There are many of tools out there. I use the ones shipped with my OS. On Windows you can try one of these for example:

This is how big they are in my master file



If your copy matches that they are OK

If someone else wants to get checksums be my guest

Hm, I don't see any checksums in your image file.

Here is what I get:

"winSPMBT V16 Extended Edition (2022).exe" 276.583.211 Bytes
94c6a93de339d8a06585c698c5083c0cafcc7e1a028bd4cf26 f87309b79a22cb (sha256)

"winSPWW2 V15 Extended Edition(2022).exe" 323.526.104 Bytes
29727d1db554c24f925f137a441dbde21f39693c897e58b0c3 5d070bc3ea56c4 (sha256)

Unfortunately binary prefixes are not very consistent...

Ah, I just saw, that there's a space character in the digest.
That's of course unintentional.

@DRG:
Can you please tell me the full length size of your master files?

What you are asking is what I already provided in post #5

What I want to know is why you seem to be treating the game installers as if they were contaminated. If they were, everyone would have a problem

[dTerm]

Well, I'm all at sea by now.

In my original post above I gave the reasons, as to why I am unsure, whether the installer files are clean or possibly affected.

You seem to think, that I believe your master files to be contaminated by some malware.
That's not the case! I just want to make sure that the copies I have are clean, because of the infection I had on my computer (and local network).

All I am doing is asking for some aid. Anyone can send me those hashsums.
If you don't want to, that's ok. But I admit, I don't quite understand, what's so difficult about it.

The sizes you gave me in post #5 are not precise, because of the binary unit prefix, which furthermore is not consistent across different operating systems, hence I gave the full sizes in my reply.

I apologize, if I did disturb the peace. I'm simply asking for a helping hand.

Btw., English is not my native tongue, so maybe my verbiage is sometimes awkward.

I tried to generate the checksums you asked for but was unsuccessful and I don't have the time to figure out why which is why I said "If someone else wants to get checksums be my guest" ....Nobody did

You asked at the start " Any help appreciated!"

I gave you a screen shot of the two installers and what MS win 10 reports their size as... apparently that's not good enough so we are back to ........"If someone else wants to get checksums be my guest"

Are you checking EVERY program on your computer the way you want our installers to be checked and why would you suspect our game installers were specifically targeted by this malware you acquired?
