Angry Win XP Pro is not the only download that's corrupted.

Win XP Pro is not the only download that's corrupted. ...

On 9/2/02 I was able to download a bogus zip file which was supposed to be a Harry Potter audio file. Instead it was a file that unzipped to 2 exe files. The 1st file was named " CLICK-ME- FIRST.exe", the 2nd was named "setup.exe". If you open these files, you'll wind up with a porn-finding utility on your system. (none of these files will show up as a virus, but they may as well be).

As of 9/2/02 the ip address sharing this & other suspect zip files is 66.250.52.242.

Will this individual be sharing from this same address tomorrow?
Who knows? My question to you is - if there is a user on the network that is spreading distructive files, what can be done to stop it? Or is there a way to warn other users?
