Trojan HorseIf you’re fond of downloading mp3s on the net, be aware of the latest findings by Mcafee on Trojans and adware that trick users to download fake mp3 files with names such us :

preview-t-3545425-adult.mpg
preview-t-3545425-changing times earth wind .mp3
t-3545425-just got lucky.mp3

They are not real mp3 files but trojans and when you run the file, it installs a media player that infects your pc with the Mirar and NetNucleus program. There are other mp3s with different names being distributed so be careful on which site you download mp3 files.

Here are some of the names on the list: http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/index.php/2008/05/06/fake-mp3s-running-rampant/
