Warning about virus and spyware found on Gnutella

[MttFrog13]

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.

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

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
