It can be dowloaded from(scroll down to bottom): https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-ryzen-chipset-4-03-03-431

Kaspersky prevented its installation & the logs say trojan, so I checked on virustotal

1 match for rule Oilrig by Ariel Millahuel from SOC Prime Threat Detection Marketplace
OilRig is an Iranian threat group operating primarily in the Middle East by targeting organizations in this region that are in a variety of different industries; however, this group has occasionally targeted organizations outside of the Middle East as well. It also appears OilRig carries out supply chain attacks, where the threat group leverages the trust relationship between organizations to attack their primary targets.

Good Morning!..
I use kaspersky total security and I installed the new chip set driver without normally. The antivirus did not detect any viruses.
I would contact kapersky support and report what happened.
I once had a similar situation when installing starscape creator studio and I contacted kaspersky support and after some tests they concluded that it was a false positive.

I bet it is a false Positive by your Anti-Virus software.

If AMD CHIPSET truly is virus infected then more Anti-Virus software would also tag it as malware.

The link you post clearly shows that it is safe to use.

I have installed the last AMD CHIPSET driver package without any issues or being tagged as being infected with a virus.

Recently my VPN has been falsely tagged as being infected with a virus by Window's Defender. This is a false positive after contacting my VPN about it.

If AMD gets more reports of their Chipset driver being infected from Kasperky than I imagine they will look into the matter and they will consult with your Anti-virus developer.

I'd ditch Kaspersky ASAP!

could be a supply chain attack

I am a beginner in cybersecurity. I have a huge firewall log file(14GB). I have to find out which are all the source IP have sent maximum bytes (accumulated) to (destination IP) and tabulate the top 10 results in descending order along with additional details like Date, time, service, country. For example , IP-1 have sent 70bytes on first request and 40bytes on second request, IP-2 have sent 90 bytes on first request and 10 bytes on second request. So, IP-1 is the one who sent max bytes accumulated (110bytes) than IP-2 (100bytes) -Find out which Country (source Country) have sent maximum bytes (accumulated) to (destination IP) and tabulate the top 10 results in descending order along with additional details like Date, time, service, IP.
