BAD Downloads
 
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but I recently downloaded. When I opened it the file was called setup.exe but was for some internet toolbar. So I did another search for a completely different program and found the same file under a different download name. The host address was 81.209.195.73 on a modem connection. Just letting you know do not download anything from this host it is a hoax. The file in question is 60.5kb in size. :mad:

I believe that file is in fact a virus. Not from the size but from the name. However, I have seen zip files of that size being spammmed on the network under any search term. Beware ... don't open it. Just FYI see WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! so things to keep in mind! ;)
