First Off, I'm Runnin ZA Pro / ProtoWall / AnonX and also have Getright DL Manager.

I was DLin' from Bit Torrent and decided to start up Overnet (0.52). I clicked the icon, and for some reason my DL list / Transfers were not all showing up, but started to appear slowly, and my harddrive started whirling.

Then Getright poped up saying "Getright has a file to download" which was called "Worms.jpg". And the source was shown as http://home.edonkey2000.com.
When this came up I cancelled it and shut Overnet down right away, but it had not connected to the network by this time.

Anyone know why/how this would happen? Was worried that I had a virus or trojan but Virus scanner comes back with nothing.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

could be that you told getright to download jpg files, and overnet's banner made it think it was a jpeg so it downloaded it.

Cheers, I think something similar happened, though eventually AVG did tell me I had a trojan which I believe was unrelated.
Thanks
