virus watch
just downloaded an obvious virus from grokster, watch out for it:
Dashboard Confessional - Remember To Breath.mp3.vbs. 11k i deleted it before i opened it of course then ran mcafee which picked up something too. so i ran some searches on the band and found additional 11k files under different titles. it reminds me of the gnutella stuff, all small like that. what's interesting is the fact that the fastrack client does not display the vbs file ending. i spotted that in explorer. i've never seen this before on fastrack, a client i've used almost every day for exactly one year. and a client i've used to d/l thousands of files. maybe something new. maybe not. still, forewarned is forearmed. - js. |
mp3.vbs
It shows the extensions here... :PO:

Practice Safe Downloading
Back on the old Morpheus Discussion Board I had this posted under a couple of forums (Bug Report & Questions, my two favorite hangouts!!) One or another of us would occasionally bump it to the top... :tu:

while it's true after closing the left side search column and sliding everything else over that technically you can get grokster to cough up an ending, in a practical sense i'm comfortable saying it doesn't display, at least in my resolution. it's too much work for every search. or at least it was until this happened. since two of the most common complaints on the old boards were with users inability to see everything at once and to fix broken sliders, you got the feeling most people just left it all alone.

i added .mp3.vbs to the blocklist of the search filter - seems it does also some job - get 0 results if i search for "mp3 vbs"
indication for .mp3.vbs is, that
good and simple thing (as mentioned on old morph and elsewhere):
|
send it to notepad. i like that.

Add .com too. There are some nasty surprises in .com files aswell. Same as .bat theres tons you can add.
But everyone just goes after .vbs |

I picked up an unknown .com "virus" while looking for photoshop projects on Google a couple of days ago, and NAV had to hold it for me, it could not even be deleted.
I had not seen anything like it before, and sent it to SARC. Any other file types I should watch out for? |
I think .wbs can be dangerous, scrap file I believe. Which you can tell it to execute commands.

oh man. that probly explains where i got some .vbs files on my hd.. mixed in with movies or mp3s. i thought i always checked the filenames to be sure, but apparently i dload some from title only in my haste.
