Default 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.
