Spellbinder Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I dunno, this might be old. But i like to send out a warning anyway. If some one is more secure than me on this, pls speak your mind. But this is what happened to me. First of, i know i had spyware on my comp, but i was not that worried about it since i had kind of control over them. But then one day i thought i should check some Frank Zappa lyrics, wich i am a big fan of. And at the bottom of this lyrics page i saw a link that said Frank Zappa mp3 download. Now im not saying i never use warez or downloads mp3, BUT in this case i though WOW they releasing Zappa´z muzik for free now! Seeing that he is dead and all, and maybe he had som clausul that said my muzak should be set free when i die or sumething. Anyway i THOUGHT it was all legit. So i clicked the link and downloaded something called mp3.plugin.exe. When i tried to install it nothing much happened, least of all i could download zappa mp3´s. And i noticed my connection got slower. Then i tried ad-aware to see what was going on, if i got some new spyware i didnt know about, and when i started ad-aware windows gave me a warning and said it gonna shut down. Thx to hinkey i could resolve this much quicker then if i had worked on my own, so thx a bunch hinkey . Anyway i just wanted to warn you all about this file. Wich i "think" was the bad guy in all this. But if YOU have better info about this file i and probably others would apreciate the info. Spellbinder.
