Hi, gang...
Hey, not sure why you're jumping on the "virus bandwagon"...
This could also, and far more likely, be a case of a nut/weirdo/creep/jerk who has "bundled' a lot of garbage, AND maybe some malicious application, into a 'popular' file for downloading... Rare for any of the anti-virus programs to catch that sort of junk.
A tip for you, anne_may040... When you are going after those 'very popular' files, look for those which have the large number of sources, i.e. the maximum number of ppl sharing EXACTLY the same file with exactly the same size... (The 'match' of an exact file name is not so important.)
This will not completely avoid the problem that you have experienced, but, at the least, you'll know that others are also suffering !
(Joking !)
