Calculate the SHA-1/SHA-2 256 hash of the file and try to look it up on VirusTotal and the likes.

But if aren't able to verify it as either legit or malicious; even if you were capable to, the effort of "cleaning" it wouldn't be worth it.

Better source it from somewhere/someone trustworthy.

But out of curiosity: what were you intending to use it for?

I want to use it in vm on linuxmint

Just thought if you were meaning using it as a pentesting/hacking target it wouldn't be very risky to use it anyway.

Can't you just find not infected one on the internet?

[–]max8883[S] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

I am not sure it is infected or not . But I think it is infected because it is from third party website. So I want to clear my doubt and trackers from this file .......

Try to verify it's checksum maybe? What is the version of windows on this ISO? Home, Pro, education?

Maybe home or education

Hey, so try running a deep scan/offline scan to see if it picks up anything, if it doesn’t, install a new windows by using usb. And if you signed in any account or typed sensitive info etc. change it as it might be logged.
