Warning about virus and spyware found on Gnutella
 

When downloading a fille or app, dont download a file with a size of 872,159. It is a spyware program, and has a virus. I downloaded it accidently when trying to download spybot, a free spyware remover, but i searched for other things and i see that a file comes up under almost every well known program with very same file size of 872,159. Watch out for this.

it is 851.1 kb and another trojan is 651.1 kb

on bearshare tho, it will say 872,159

why are you downloading freeware from p2p?

use microsoft's anti-spyware. it's awesome. i've had better luck with that than spybot search and destroy.

i would check your system for viruses on a daily basis if you continue to download software from an unreliable source such as p2p.

please check my thread about spyware, viruses and other nasties. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=43811

stop advertising that topic just go read the stickys

personally, i dont care what you want me to do or dont do. i just see about 10 virus related threads on gnutella about the same files. i'm trying to convince people not to download executables off of peer to peer thinking that its a good way to download software.


i bet i could distribute a fake software package on peer to peer after you extracted it and ran the setup.exe, i could make a message box popup and say "HEY THIS ISNT A VIRUS BUT COULD OF". you know i have spare time on my hands, so i could very easily do so ;)
