Default There you have it : the first MP3 virus

You know you can block certain file types because they could contain virusses ?
You would typicaly block files like .vbs and .htm .

Well now you can add .mp3 to the list .
A glitch in Winamp 2.79 (www.winamp.com Winamp is the most used player) allows people to embed virus code wich would get executed during playback .
The code can be attached to the ID3 V2 tag .

There is a easy fix tho : disable Winamp's minibrowser .
BTW : Winamp 2.80 is out , maybe they fixed it ?

Here's a link with some more details : http://www.intelligentx.com/newslett...h2_050202.html
