that is generally correct. but in this particular case, virus total gave the file a relatively low rating -- 29 / 55.
The user might be able to keep or get build 10240 activated if they use the ISO to upgrade over a currently activated build/version. Say you have WIn8.1 activated you can upgrade to 10240 and it will be activated. But now you can't install any build of WIn10 and activate it.. that's been turned off by MS.
So the only option now is to go from an activated version.. Win7/Win8.1
I just had a long discussion directly with the author of the torrent, on a different forum. It seems that I picked up a virus from a different piece of software that I had installed before, one which I know for sure had PUPs. Although the AV didn't detect this file at the time, maybe the virus definitions got updated or something.
In any case, the author of the torrent is held in very high esteem.
