1.What does this have to do with this forum's section.
2.Have you tried the verifeds
well it is a bad worm,but 75% of all downloads?
cmon man thats a load horse crap
maybe one percent of downloads
you need to provide sources if you are gonna come here and try scare tactics
if you say over 3/4s of all software provided via p2p networks is infected with this worm i demand plausable and undeniable proof
so step up and prove it
I ran mcaffee virus scan on my computer and found three hundred 300 , instances of hantaner on my computer, all in downloads from p2p, not just k-lite but several others as well. not scare tatics. If you have mcaffee, check it out yourself.
if you found the virus after you downloaded you should think about using a AV with realtime scanning capabilty to stop the file before it completes.
just because you claim a thing true doesnt make it trueQuote:

I virus scan regulary my box is clean
and let me quote you here
so because you have several instances of a worm on your box leads you to belive that 75% of all shared programs are infected with this virus?Quote:

here is a word of advice
real time scanner
scan frequently in case some get in
keep you database up to date
dont warn people unless you have substantial proof other than your word or a virus alert on your box (i.e specific files and or users distributing them with proof to back it up)
otherwise you are going to get flamed by the posters here and told to stop hollaring that the sky is falling
